Acquisitions & disposals

Acquisitions and disposals can be life-changing events – it may be how you realise your life's work or take your business to the next level. You need guidance and counselling from an advisory team which is skilled and experienced in this area of practice.

How can we help?

We have extensive experience in acquisition and disposal work especially in the mid-cap market. We act for entrepreneurs, companies (owner managed, management teams and listed), banks and financial institutions.

We recognise the importance of project management in this area of practice and encourage our teams to take control of transactions and actively manage them to bring benefits to our clients.

The core corporate finance team seamlessly introduces specialists from around Thomas Eggar LLP to support a transaction. It is not unusual for specialists from our property, employment, intellectual property, pensions and tax teams to be involved. Where transactions are cross-border, we will work with law firms in other jurisdictions with whom you have relationships or firms with whom we are associated in Avrio Advocati and the Bridge Group.

In a disposal we work with sellers to minimise the risk of a claim for breach of warranty and to achieve a sensible balance between risk and reward.

Where you are acquiring, we will help you to manage transactional risk and to prepare for post-acquisition integration through our due diligence investigations. We also have a wide range of experience in advising on the financing of acquisitions using both debt and equity and we can add value by introducing you to appropriate providers of finance.
