For you, for business, for life.
Business Sales, Acquisitions and Disposals (Mergers and Acquisitions) Lawyers Liverpool & North West London
Our Mergers and Acquisitions team are experienced in providing advice on a variety of M&A transactions in the UK and overseas.
We advise clients on both buy and sell-side, including corporate clients, management teams, family offices, private equity firms, business owners, both as majority and minority interest-holders.
The transactions on which we advise typically involve SMEs (up to £40 million market cap) and range from relatively straightforward deals to the very complex.
M&A transactions can have a range of technical considerations that need to be addressed such as specific concerns of the vendors, regulatory matters, taxation, pensions, employment, corporate finance, competition, real estate or environmental issues (depending on the type of business being targeted).
Our Corporate solicitors ensure that as and when separate advice from specialists in these areas is needed, the very best advisors are retained (costs permitting) and their input is coordinated in a timely and efficient manner with the overall deal timetable.
We deliver thoughtful, responsive and practical commercial advice, resolving client problems when they arise and focusing on completion and a successful outcome for our clients on favourable or at least agreeable terms.
Recent M & A deals on which our Corporate team have advised include:
- Cross border mergers and acquisitions between UK, EU and US entities
- Acquisitions and disposals of private limited companies
- Acquisitions and disposals of businesses and assets
- Management Buy Outs (MBOs) and Management Buy Ins (MBIs), including Vendor Initiated Management Buy Ins and other aspects of Succession Planning
- Joint ventures and other forms of commercial collaboration arrangements.
Mergers and Acquisition - Frequently Asked Questions
Mergers and acquisitions involve the combination or purchase of companies. A merger occurs when two or more companies merge to form a new entity, while an acquisition involves one company purchasing another, integrating it into its operations.
A solicitor is essential for M&A transactions due to their complexity. They provide expertise in legal documentation, due diligence, regulatory compliance, and negotiations, ensuring that your interests are protected throughout the process.
Key documents include:
- Letter of Intent: An initial agreement to negotiate.
- Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): Protects confidential information shared during discussions.
- Exclusivity Agreement: Prevents negotiations with other parties during a specified period.
- Sale and Purchase Agreement: The main contract outlining terms and conditions.
- Disclosure Letter: Qualifies the seller’s warranties.
- Tax Deed: Agreements regarding tax liabilities.
Due diligence is a thorough examination of the target company’s financials, contracts, intellectual property, and potential risks. It helps identify any liabilities or issues that could impact the transaction, ensuring informed decision-making.
