    This work covers the sale and purchase of small, owner‑run companies. In practice, solicitors help with preparing and negotiating the sale or purchase agreement, conduct due diligence on the target business, review and draft warranties, disclosure schedules and any warranties to be given by the seller, and coordinate completion, often alongside lenders and accountants. They may also assist with pre‑sale restructuring, employment matters, and post‑completion integration issues to protect both sides.
