This area covers the buying of a company or its shares, including due diligence, negotiation of the purchase agreement, and completion steps. A solicitor helps with drafting and negotiating the share or asset purchase agreement, conducts or oversees due diligence, drafts or reviews disclosure schedules, and organises conditions precedent, warranties, and post-completion adjustments. They also coordinate with bankers, accountants, and the seller’s counsel, secure necessary consents, and ensure the deal is registered and completed in a legally effective and orderly fashion.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor identifies key provisions, such as warranties, indemnities, and completion mechanics, and handles the interplay with corporate structure, financing, and antitrust or regulatory clearances. They manage risk through carefully drafted covenants and conditions, and oversee post-completion steps like share transfer, title checks, and filing requirements.
