Our business acquisition and sale services cover every stage of the process, from due diligence preparation, contract negotiation and post-completion support.

Buying or selling a business is complex and can span several months — having the right legal support makes all the difference. Our experienced team is here to guide you through every step of the process, providing practical, tailored advice to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

  • Preparation for Sale

    Selling or buying? Preparation is crucial. We’ll help you address potential issues early, ensuring everything is in place for a seamless transition.

  • Acquisition Documentation

    From asset purchase agreements to share purchase agreements, we prepare clear, robust documents that protect your interests and ensure nothing is overlooked.

  • Heads of Terms

    A clear understanding at the start is essential. We draft Heads of Terms to formalise key details such as price, payment terms, and exclusivity, ensuring both sides are aligned before progressing.

  • Negotiations

    We’ll help you navigate the complexities of negotiation, staying focused on your goals and protecting your priorities every step of the way.

  • Due Diligence

    This vital phase allows buyers to uncover risks and opportunities, while sellers prepare for scrutiny. We’ll make sure the process is thorough, efficient, and as stress-free as possible.

  • Completion and Beyond

    From transferring ownership to post-completion obligations, we’ll handle the finer details so you can focus on the bigger picture.
