Purchase and Sale of Companies and Businesses
Purchase and Sale of Companies and Businesses
You do not need a solicitor to purchase or sell a company or a business, however, buying or selling a company or a business is a major transaction in which you need to properly consider a range of legal issues. A solicitor will be able to protect the investments you have made in the business you are selling, or the investments you are about to make in the business you are buying.
A solicitor experienced in company and business transactions will therefore be able to advise you with those issues in order to protect your interests and ensure that the transaction proceeds smoothly.
