OUR APPROACH

Keep the detail connected to the deal.

Buying or selling a business involves decisions about value, risk, and what happens after completion. We help clients understand the proposed structure and the legal work required to translate commercial agreement into clear transaction documents.

Support may include confidentiality arrangements, heads of terms, legal due diligence, transaction agreements, and completion preparation. We identify issues for commercial discussion and coordinate with financial, tax, and other advisers within the agreed scope.

A clear sequence from discussion to completion.

We begin with the proposed deal, parties, timetable, and available information. We agree priorities, track outstanding issues, and explain the choices at each stage so that decisions remain connected to the wider transaction objectives.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin.

At what stage should legal advisers become involved?

+

Early involvement can help clarify confidentiality, proposed structure, and the effect of preliminary terms. The appropriate scope depends on how far discussions have progressed.

What is the purpose of legal due diligence?

+

It reviews agreed categories of legal information to identify risks, missing documents, and matters requiring further enquiry or contractual treatment. Its scope should be defined in advance.

Are heads of terms legally binding?

+

The effect depends on their wording and applicable law. Some provisions may be intended to bind even where the broader transaction remains subject to contract.

Who coordinates tax and financial advice?

+

The engagement should identify each adviser’s responsibilities and how information will be shared. Legal support does not replace separate tax, valuation, or financial advice.

What happens if an issue appears during due diligence?

+

The parties may seek further information, negotiate protections, revise terms, or reconsider the proposal. Advice should explain the issue and available responses without assuming a particular outcome.

Discuss the transaction ahead.
