Deals and Transitions Desk.

Our transactions team reading a draft agreement

For the Year a Company Changes Hands.

Buying, selling, merging or restructuring, the work is the same: find what matters early, put it in writing, and keep the deal moving while the rest of the business carries on. Our transactions desk has handled matters of this shape since 1996.

(What This Covers)

What This Desk Takes On.

[ DEAL_01 ]

Sale and purchase

Running the process end to end, from the first heads of terms through disclosure to the completion bundle.

[ RISK_04 ]

Diligence and risk

A short, specific list of what the buyer really needs, with the answers checked before they reach the other side.

[ GOV_07 ]

Boards and consents

Resolutions, shareholder consents and the paperwork that keeps a transition clean after the money moves.

[ EXIT_09 ]

After completion

Earn outs, transitional services and the quiet year that follows, held by the same lawyers who did the deal.

(How It Runs)

How a File Moves Here.

Stage 01

Read and map

We read everything, then set out the shape of the matter and what it will cost to finish.

Stage 02

Agree the plan

One page: the steps, the order, who does each one and the dates we are working towards.

Stage 03

Run it to close

Weekly notes in plain language, no surprises on fees, and a partner on every call.
