Business Sales and Acquisitions

If you have plans to acquire or dispose of business interests, or need to restructure your organisation, our specialists in corporate law can help.

We are often involved in transactions at a very early stage, advising on their viability, assisting in negotiations and co-ordinating all aspects of the deal. In fact our proactive approach often means taking on the role of project manager to co-ordinate activity and deliver to the agreed timetable.

To give a flavour of our experience in the industry, we have acted for a regional brewer on a joint venture with another brewer, and at a later stage on the acquisition of the shares held by the other party. We were also involved on the acquisition of high profile brands from an international brewer in a very substantial transaction involving the transfer of many hundreds of trade marks in more than 12 jurisdictions worldwide. Another deal was the disposal of a themed restaurant business to Mitchells & Butlers which was effected by means of a corporate sale.

Ways in which we can help you include:

• Buying, selling and financing of businesses
• MBOs, MBIs
• Joint Ventures
• Corporate Restructuring
• Refinancing
• Advice to directors on their duties and liabilities
• Share options
• EMI Schemes
