Sales and Acquisitions

Ashfords has vast experience of local, national and international business and company sale and purchase transactions. Buying or selling a business or shares in a company can be a detailed and complex process. A buyer will want to have a full understanding of the target business and have protection for unknown liabilities and sellers will want to limit their liability to specific considered matters. Our wide ranging experience enables us to manage the process under set timeframes and lead negotiations regarding the allocation of risk between the parties.

As well as transaction structuring and negotiation, we are able to assist the buyer's due diligence process in relation to the target business and advise on specific buyer protection warranties. When acting for sellers, we can advise on seller protection provisions in the transaction agreements and disclosure of key matters against warranties to limit the sellers' liability.
