Mergers and Acquisitions Law
Merger and Acquisition Lawyers
Many businesses will undertake one or more transactions during their lifetime, whether raising capital, expanding market share, collaborating with other businesses, or some form of renewal and/or founder exit.
Many of these end as successful, positive processes leading to new opportunities for growth. Yet the process can be challenging, frustrating, and costly – both the negotiation process itself and the aftermath if key points are not addressed properly.
The success or failure in mergers, acquisitions, disposals, and more is down to proactive, experienced advisors identifying risk areas, engaging closely with the commercial aims of their clients, and taking strong management of the deal process from start to finish.
With this care and attention, the corporate transaction process for a parent company, business, investor, or business owner can then be highly rewarding.

Our clients are driven and successful, so we understand the unique needs of our clients, including management teams, business owners, and SMEs, as well as medium-sized and large corporate clients including large private companies and PLCs.

Let Our Lawyers Help You
Our senior lawyers bring deep and broad experience to transactions which, combined with the transaction management skills of our wider team, means our clients receive proactive and solution-focused advice and guidance.
We foster a collaborative ‘can-do’ negotiation position and don’t ‘score points’. We don’t let matters drift – we take ownership of the process and responsibility for delivering an end position that our clients want.
We combine this approach with a transparent price structure and work in a straightforward manner. We will engage a small, highly-organised, and focused team for your transaction, communicating in real-time and without jargon.
No matter what, we will be with you at every stage of the process.
Drawing on the above approaches, we foster long-term relationships with clients, many of whom have worked with us for a significant number of years to manage every aspect of their corporate transactional requirements.
