Business Sales
Across our legal and tax services, we advise on the entire process from due diligence and negotiation of the warranties to indemnities and the disclosure of transferring liabilities in connection with the sale agreement.
This page of our website focuses on our relevant legal and tax services solely related to a corporate transaction. More importantly, we can also help you deliver the benefits to your organisation by helping you manage the change that comes with a sale or acquisition.

Employment taxation
Our tax expertise can enable you to make the right choices to maximise the value retained from any transaction, whether minimising income or capital gains, taxes liabilities for individual shareholders (including employees and directors) or maximising corporation tax reliefs available to companies.

Ensuring you identify the impact of a transaction on reward programmes is vital. We can also assist you to address the often difficult challenges of integrating reward structures. Find out more about our employee share incentives.
