Business transfers cover the sale or purchase of a going concern, whether by asset or share sale, and the legal work needed to complete those deals. A solicitor drafts and negotiates terms, runs due diligence, reviews warranties and indemnities, and handles the transfer of contracts, employee rights under TUPE, and any post-completion liabilities. They coordinate the deal timetable, prepare standard and bespoke completion documents, and liaise with buyers, sellers, lenders, and regulators to secure a smooth transfer of ownership.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

They draft and finalise the sale agreement, completion accounts, and any post-completion arrangements, ensuring all corporate and employment obligations are aligned with the chosen structure (asset or share deal). They coordinate the exchange of contracts, notices, and registrations required at Companies House and with relevant authorities.

Richard Clapham

Tagged solicitor Richard Clapham

I selected Downs Law to manage the sale of my company. It was clear from the initial consultation that Downs law has a very competent team of experts. Richard and his colleagues were excellent every step of the way - providing clear advice, being readily available when questions arose, and being extremely diligent in their duties. Couldn't ask for more.
