Specialist advise

If you are taking on or taking over a business, you need to know from the start exactly what your liabilities will be. As well as carrying out extensive due diligence work, we will advise you on issues such as your responsibilities to employees.

We can draft the documentation needed for your acquisition or sale, such as heads of terms, non-disclosure agreements, exclusivity agreements and share sales and purchase agreements. We will make sure that the right warranties and indemnities are included and that your position is protected.

Where the transaction involves commercial property, our Commercial Property team can advise on how transfers and leases can be dealt with to ensure a seamless changeover.
