We have a strong reputation advising clients on the acquisition of businesses. For some clients, strategic acquisitions are key to their growth, whether as part of a medium-term exit strategy, or a longer-term expansion plan. Whether strategic or opportunistic, our work with buyers is a key part of our skill set. If you’ve never been through the process before, you’ll need a safe pair of hands to guide you through the process and to drive the transaction to a successful conclusion.
Whatever the complexity or size of the deal, you benefit from high-quality legal, commercial and strategic advice. We act on both high-profile, complex transactions to smaller, more straightforward deals. Our team are skilled project managers and have years of experience in looking for the most efficient and effective way to get a deal across a line, on time and within budget. We handle all aspects of M&A deals from start to finish including:
- Confidentiality and exclusivity
- Deal structuring (and pre-deal re-structuring)
- Negotiating Term Sheets
- Due diligence (including managing and advising on the use of online data rooms and technical reviews of patent and trademark portfolios)
- Advising on key deal terms such as:
- warranties
- indemnities
- restrictive covenants
- price structures
- earn-outs
- Drafting and negotiating all acquisition/sale agreements and any related ancillary documents
- Project management (including shareholder communications and distribution of sale proceeds)
- Hosting, managing and running completion of the deal (celebratory fizz included!)
