Our clients include SMEs, fast growing entrepreneurial businesses, start-ups, private individuals and business owners in a number of industry sectors. The advice and support that we deliver extends to commercial activities as well as corporate transactions.

The most suitable business structure for your business may be a traditional partnership or a limited liability partnership (LLP), which has some elements of a partnership but has limited liability like a company. We can guide and advise you on the tax implications, the associated risks, and the rules applicable to the partnership structures compared to the other forms of business structures.

Whether you are selling your business or acquiring a new one or moving your sole trader business or partnership to a company, our team will help you through what can often be a complex and daunting exercise. We can manage the process for you, from assisting with the initial due diligence, negotiating the terms of the sale and purchase agreement through to completion.

We have extensive experience in advising on and preparing shareholders’ agreements and investment agreements, which can be prepared to meet your specific requirements, depending on whether all the shareholders will all be actively involved in the business, or are investors who want to return but do not want active involvement in the business. We also advise on share rights, and what should happen if a shareholder leaves the Company as well as more general exit provisions.

A share buyback is a statutory procedure whereby a company can buy back its own shares from a shareholder who no longer wants to be involved in the company for some reason or sometimes if a company wants to return value to a shareholder.
