Trade sale or flotation, merger or acquisition?

Getting a retail business ready for a trade sale or admission to a public market will require a review of the business and an analysis of necessary changes. Timing is critical and we have helped implement these changes in a short time frames. Typically the areas which require change are:

  • management and employee arrangements
  • existing funding
  • share schemes
  • pension schemes
  • intellectual property
  • contracts
Our experience shows that an early and effective assessment of these areas of the business can save precious resource in the immediate run-up to, and during, the transaction.
If considering an acquisition, then a thorough investigation of a target is equally important in order to minimise risk and maximise your negotiating position. Our Corporate lawyers are highly skilled and experienced in achieving the best deals for clients.
