Two long-standing business partners approached us for legal support as they prepared to sell their company. They wanted to ensure the transaction was structured correctly, safeguarded their interests, and provided a smooth exit.
The sale was not straightforward. It involved the transfer of company shares, the assignment of valuable intellectual property, and the review of existing commercial contracts to confirm they would remain valid post-sale. Each element needed careful handling to prevent future disputes and to maximise value for the sellers.
We conducted comprehensive due diligence to identify any legal or contractual risks early in the process. Working closely with our clients, we reviewed and drafted the share purchase agreement and related documents to reflect the terms agreed. We also liaised directly with the buyer’s solicitor to negotiate protections for our clients, ensuring clarity over intellectual property rights and the assignment of ongoing commercial relationships.
The sale completed smoothly, allowing the partners to exit the business cleanly and on terms that met both their financial and strategic goals. They moved on with the confidence that the transaction had been handled with diligence and care.
