What this usually involves

Buyers pay for future profit but inherit past problems. Legal due diligence exists to price and, where possible, contract out of that history.

  • Legal due diligence across contracts, people and property
  • Negotiating the sale and purchase agreement
  • Completion, escrow and post-completion integration

Common questions

What protections should a buyer insist on?
Warranties, specific indemnities for known risks, restrictive covenants and often a retention or deferred consideration.
Do employees transfer?
On an asset purchase, TUPE usually transfers employees automatically with their existing terms.
