Whether a client is buying or selling a companies shares or a company or  organisations assets the legal documents have to be carefully drafted, once the client has agreed commercial terms with the buyer or seller.

The sale or purchase documents differ depending on whether it is a share sale or an asset sale. Key areas to be taken into account in an asset sale are the assets themselves including intellectual property rights, employees, business contracts and excluded assets and liabilities.

Both share and asset sales require a comprehensive due diligence process to be undertaken.

Our commercial team has considerable experience in both asset and share sales and purchases and can efficiently assist and advise an experienced or inexperienced Client throughout the process.
