What we are asked to do most
Corporate and M&A
Share sales, investment rounds and reorganisations run to a timetable you can plan around.
Commercial contracts
Terms that protect cash flow, cap liability sensibly and get signed without months of redlines.
Employment
Contracts, handbooks and exits handled cleanly, so growth does not create tribunal risk.
Data protection
UK GDPR and DPA 2018 compliance that stands up to an enterprise customer's security review.
Commercial property
Leases, breaks and renewals negotiated with the 1954 Act consequences spelled out.
Intellectual property
Ownership of your product, brand and code confirmed on paper before an investor asks.
Mergers and acquisitions
Selling, buying or preparing for either. We act on deals from £1m upwards, running the legal workstream on a fixed fee agreed in writing, so you know the cost before you commit.
How we handle M&ASelling your company
Share sales and asset sales for owner-managers. Heads of terms, disclosure, warranties and completion, with the tax and timing questions raised early rather than at exchange.
Buying a business
Targeted due diligence, a plain-English report and a sale and purchase agreement that matches what the diligence actually found. We coordinate warranty and indemnity insurance where it earns its premium.
Management buy-outs
Funding structures, new articles, shareholders' agreements and the employment and property angles a buy-out always touches, all under one timetable.
Investor readiness audit
A fixed-fee review of your cap table, IP ownership, customer contracts and employment paperwork before a buyer or investor's solicitors find the gaps for you.
