We work with business owners, investors and professional advisors at every step of the acquisition process, from early-stage offer letters to completion and beyond.
Our job is to make sure the deal stacks up, the risks are clear, and you complete on the right terms.
Here’s how we help in the moments that matter
We draft and review these early-stage agreements, ensuring they reflect your commercial position and don’t lock you into something unfavourable before due diligence even starts.
We help you look under the hood, identify key legal risks and liabilities, and help focus your attention on what matters to your deal
We negotiate the contracts with a practical and commercial approach. We protect your position and align with what’s been agreed commercially, with no hidden surprises.
Deals stall when details slip. We manage the project and coordinate with third parties and financiers to keep things moving and prevent last-minute chaos that derails transactions at the final hurdle.
We assist with post-completion tasks such as completion accounts mechanisms, and regulatory lodgements. If issues arise after the handover, we’re there to help you resolve them quickly and move on cleanly.
Buying a business is a high-stakes move. And getting it wrong can cost you more than money. Whether you’re buying your first business or bolting on to an existing one, we help you navigate the deal with confidence.
The early stages of a deal move fast, and buyers are often expected to make big decisions before they’ve had a chance to look under the hood.
Clients bring us in early because they want to spot risks before they’re locked in, shape the deal on their terms, and avoid surprises that could derail things later.
These are the concerns we hear most often:
By getting involved from the outset, we help buyers ask the right questions, hold the right ground and move forward with eyes wide open.
