Buying and Selling a Business

Buying or selling a business can be one of the most important steps anyone running a business can take. It is vital to get it right. Here at Smith Law Partnership we believe we have all the right ingredients to help you make a success of your sale or purchase. Here’s why:

• We specialise in advising small and medium-sized businesses
• We make a point of understanding your objectives from the outset and take time to understand what the deal means for you and for your business
• We will work with you and your other advisers (accountants, bankers, surveyors etc) to make things run as smoothly as we can
• We will put all of our accumulated knowledge and experience of many years and many differing types of sales and purchases to use in promoting your interests in the transaction
• We will take time out to plan ahead and keep you informed of what is happening, so that you can concentrate on the important commercial and practical issues that need your attention
• We have a small, dedicated team so we can act flexibly and responsively to your circumstances, thus enabling us to offer a service matched to your needs and offering excellent value for money
  

Our experience is of a wide variety of sales and purchases of all kinds – of both sales and purchases of shares and of assets. These range from multi-million pound deals with complex structures to the more straightforward sales and purchases of small unincorporated businesses.

We have a specialist employment lawyer who can help you chart your way through the minefield of employment law. The legislation which is likely to apply is known as TUPE and our specialist can advise you on how best to comply.

We know what is involved – the highs and lows that buying or selling a business brings, the potential areas of difficulty in the negotiations and how to find ways through to a satisfactory completion.

Our clients want more than pure legal advice – they want practical help from their legal team. That is what we can offer.
