Our Mergers & Acquisitions services

Mergers and acquisitions are technical, with issues ranging across multiple areas of law. Our solicitors work together with you to achieve your goals, no matter how big or small. Working with you every step of the way, we can assist with:

  Share purchase and sales

●  Planning the structure of the transaction

  Due diligence

  Private equity transactions

  Group reorganisations and restructurings

Going through a merger or an acquisition is a pivotal point for your business and having the right legal team on your side is crucial.

 

Management buy-outs (MBOs) and buy-ins (MBIs)

Buying or selling through MBOs or MBIs can be difficult. There are multiple parties involved, and it is important to manage everyone's interests. Our team of expert solicitors can negotiate between the parties, addressing any conflicts of interest and carrying out due diligence on their behalf.

What is a management buy-out (MBO)?

MBOs allow the members of a management team to purchase the company through funds of their own, bank lending and private equity.

There are three transactions involved in the process, often including the creation of a new company by the management team to act as the acquisition. The three primary transactions of an MBO are

  Establishing the acquisition group

●  Financing the acquisition

  Acquiring the target

 Our team can help any party at any stage of the process or from beginning to end.

 

What is management buy-in (MBI)?

Similar to an MBO, an MBI is an acquisition by a management team, but this time from outside the business. Due diligence is more crucial to an MBI as there will not be as much understanding of the business. The process is largely the same for both, but an MBI can allow for a more experienced management team to join the business.
