Business Value covers the assessment, negotiation and protection of the value of a business and its assets in commercial transactions. A solicitor in this area helps with due diligence, drafting and negotiating share sales and asset purchase agreements, warranties, and post-completion protections; they advise on price, earn-outs, and representations, and coordinate with accountants and lenders. They also handle business restructures, mergers, and disposals, and advise on ongoing governance implications, minority protections and risk allocation depending on the deal structure. They liaise with investors, funders, and regulators, register filings with Companies House, and ensure compliance with corporate and competition rules.
