Business Sales & Acquisitions
Advice from early transaction structure and due diligence through negotiation, documentation and completion.
Commercial context first
Resolve the important issues before the contract becomes the problem.
Asset and share transactions allocate value and risk differently. Early advice helps align the deal structure, due diligence, tax position, funding, lease and completion mechanics before commercial momentum hardens an unsuitable term.
How we can help
Selected matters
The scope is tailored to the transaction, dispute or decision—not forced into a standard template.
Buyer due diligence
Review of ownership, material contracts, employees, premises, finance, IP, disputes and compliance issues.
Vendor preparation
Preparing the business, disclosure material, transaction documents and practical completion requirements.
Sale agreements
Drafting, review and negotiation of price mechanics, warranties, indemnities, restraints and conditions.
Lease and consents
Landlord, lender, customer, supplier and regulatory consents required to complete the transaction.
Completion
Conditions, adjustments, settlement documents, releases and practical transition steps.
