buying and selling businesses or companies


We advise clients buying and selling businesses including large companies, small- to medium-size enterprises and professional partnerships.

As well as dealing with the main sale and purchase documents, we also give advice on matters related to business sale and business acquisition such as banking and finance arrangements, employment and consultancy agreements.

Our approach

We always seek to identify key issues at an early stage, helping to prevent deals from becoming bogged down in unnecessary process and paperwork.

We tailor our approach to suit the client and the transaction. Some of our clients are businesses and entrepreneurs who buy and sell businesses frequently; to them we offer a very commercially-aware and cost-effective service.

First-time buyers and sellers often need more guidance. We provide as much support as is required and explain every step of what can be a complex process.

We can offer a 360° insight to buyers, sellers and management teams. 

Our team

  • Our team of specialist lawyers has experience in a wide variety of industry sectors.
  • Completed deals range in value from £100,000 to over £40 million.
