Corporate Law

Simple and clear expertise for your business

Our specialist team provides advice on a range of corporate matters, often supporting current or prospective business owners and company directors.

Simple and clear expertise for your business

If you are considering buying a business, you are probably already well aware that there is lots for you to consider. How should you best structure the deal? How do you ensure that you are getting what you expect? How do you protect the investment that you are making? 

Whatever the size of the business you are purchasing, having well-drafted legal paperwork in place is vital in helping to make certain that you end up purchasing exactly what you intend to, and that you do not inherit any nasty surprises. We can help you to purchase your new business with confidence.

How we can help

If you are considering buying a business, please contact our expert Corporate team, and we can work with you to help shape the best structure for the deal, guide you through any due diligence process and agree a purchase contract that gives you all the protections you need to allow you to embark on your purchase with confidence.

Working with our clients

If you are considering selling your business, your main concern is likely to be getting a price that you are happy with and being confident that this will be paid.

But in addition, there are lots of things that you will likely be confronted with from your buyer, who will be equally keen to make certain that their interests are protected.

Having expert legal advice to guide you through the sale process is essential, to ensure that you do not unknowingly leave yourself open to potential claims, even after the sale has completed, which could drastically reduce the value you secure for your business.

We can help you sell your business with confidence.

Protecting your business interests

If your business has multiple owners, with more than one shareholder or partner, then you really ought to have an agreement in place setting out the nature of your business relationship. 

Without an agreement like this when faced with unforeseen circumstances – such as the death of one of your business partners or perhaps when you face a disagreement – how to respond to these circumstances is unclear, making costly disputes more likely, all at the expense of the business itself. 

We can help you manage your most important business relationships.

How we can help

If your business is owned by several people and you would like to put in place an agreement between the owners, please contact our specialist Corporate team, and we can discuss the best way in which to get you set up.
