This area covers the buying, selling and ongoing governance of companies and commercial enterprises. A solicitor handles complex transactions such as share or asset purchases, re-organisations, mergers, joint ventures and major supplier or customer contracts, drafting and negotiating terms, due diligence reports, warranties, post-completion filings and regulatory checks. They translate commercial aims into binding documents, coordinate with accountants and financiers, and ensure compliance with company law and contract requirements throughout the deal process.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Deals hinge on defined terms, conditions, representations and warranties, as well as timing, financing and post-closing obligations. The solicitor’s role includes drafting and negotiating share or asset purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements, key ancillary contracts, disclosure schedules, and any necessary registrations or filings; coordinating due diligence; and advising on risk allocation and regulatory scrutiny to keep the transaction on track.
