Get broader legal support around the sale of your business

This is usually a good fit when you are selling a business and want legal support across the wider deal, not just a quick view on one clause or one agreement. For example, you may already have heads of terms, a buyer draft, or ongoing discussions about price, warranties, deferred payments or handover obligations. In that situation, a broader seller-side service can help you understand how the pieces fit together, where the pressure points are, and whether you should negotiate, clarify or obtain further document support before moving ahead.

The main issues often sit behind the headline price. Sellers commonly need advice on whether the deal is structured as a share sale or asset sale, how payment is made, whether any amount is deferred, what warranties or indemnities are being requested, what restrictions apply after completion, and what obligations continue during a transition period. There can also be practical concerns around employees, customer contracts, intellectual property and disclosure. This service helps surface those points early so you can see which issues are routine and which may need closer attention.

It usually includes a lawyer consultation, discussion of the proposed sale structure and terms, and legal input on the documents or extracts you share in advance. We can comment on issues such as liability allocation, completion mechanics, restrictive covenants, payment timing and post-sale obligations. The service is intentionally broader than a review-only job, because it allows room to discuss the surrounding transaction rather than only the wording on one page. If the matter later needs full drafting, negotiation support or detailed agreement work, that can be scoped separately.

A review-only service is centred on analysing one sale agreement and pointing out issues within that document. This service is wider than that. It lets us discuss the broader sale position, including the structure of the deal, the commercial terms already agreed, the legal effect of draft wording, and the next steps that may follow from those points. That can be useful where the transaction is still evolving or where the risks are spread across several documents and decisions, rather than sitting neatly inside one agreement alone.

Yes, that is often when this service is most useful. Sellers do not always receive a polished agreement at the start. Sometimes there are only heads of terms, marked-up clauses, an email summary of the deal, or partial draft documents. We can still use those materials to discuss the likely legal issues, what may be missing, and what points are worth resolving before the paperwork becomes more advanced. That early guidance can help you avoid drifting into a structure or risk allocation that is harder to unwind later.
