Sale of business

John Heaton headed up the team that advised on the sale of our business. I felt that the holistic support that he gave fitted well with the complex requirements of an international business sale. I also felt that John did an excellent job of keeping the momentum going and supporting us personally through a very frenetic time.

I found that John and his team took us through the whole process with as much ease as possible given the difficult time restraints trying to get the sale through before the budget. At times it was intense for both parties, but Higgs remained professional and patient at all times. A great job well done and they executed the project within the demanding time scales Thank you

Trusted legal partner

We have worked with Higgs since selling our business in 2021. This was a particularly challenging time as the backdrop to the process was Covid lockdowns. The team at Higgs, lead by John Heaton, gave us the assurance and confidence needed to navigate and always challenging time successfully - and get the result we were looking for! Indeed we chose Higgs because we felt we could have honest, straight conversations with John and that he was someone who we could relate to - not someone who was aloof. We have continued to work with Higgs as our legal partner in other business ventures.
