We acted for the shareholders of a leading technology company who were selling their shares to an AIM listed group. We assisted the client to provide replies to the buyer's due diligence enquiries, and negotiated the sale and purchase documentation to ensure that the client's expectations were met whilst bearing in mind the commercial realities of the transaction.
We were approached by a national sector skills council looking to expand by acquiring another sector skills council with which it shared a clear and potentially valuable synergy. We advised the client on the structural issues and options for the acquisition which led to us liaising with the Charity Commission to obtain the required permission for the merger of the two entities. We worked with the client and the professionals acting on behalf of the target to ensure that the acquisition was concluded within the required timescale and budget.
We acted for a company looking to acquire a business in the manufacturing sector. We liaised with our network of contacts to find the right target before assisting the client with all aspects of due diligence on that target. We then negotiated a complex share purchase agreement to deal with the structural issues surrounding the payment of the purchase price and the continued involvement of the selling shareholders. We also acted on behalf of the client in agreeing a raft of documents under which the client was being given funding for the acquisition by a national bank.
