In England, this work covers the sale of a business, whether by asset transfer or share sale, including the preparation and negotiation of heads of terms, the sale agreement, and completion documents. A solicitor handles due diligence, negotiates warranties and indemnities, coordinates with accountants and lenders, and addresses employment matters such as TUPE implications. They oversee regulatory and company law compliance, liaise with the buyer and seller, and guide the deal through completion and post‑completion steps in the appropriate court or registration framework.
