Complex Corporate Sale of Operational Real Estate based Business

Matt Rowley and his team (across both corporate and real estate matters) were excellent to deal with and provided a joined up approach to ensure a successful outcome was achieved. Having brokered the sale of businesses for many years, it is key to a successful outcome of any transaction to have lawyers accountants and brokers aligned, with everyone knowing the key challenges needing to addressed and working through solutions to ensure timely progress. This proved to be the case with Harrowells who remained accessible throughout.
