Fixed-fee help for the moving parts of a share or unit sale

This is usually a good fit where the transaction involves more than a quick look at one document. For example, you may be buying or selling shares in a private company, dealing with warranties and disclosure, or trying to make sure the supporting paperwork matches the agreed commercial terms. It can work for either buyers or sellers. If your matter is limited to a short review of a single draft with no wider transaction support, a narrower service may be more suitable than this broader sale-focused option.

Many issues appear in the detail behind the headline price. Common pressure points include unclear warranty wording, incomplete disclosure, missing approvals or consents, payment terms that do not align with completion steps, and supporting documents that do not match the actual structure of the deal. Buyers often want comfort around hidden liabilities, while sellers usually want to avoid taking on open-ended obligations after completion. A careful legal review helps identify where the documents and the commercial position may not yet line up properly.

A single agreement review is narrower and usually concentrates on comments to one draft in isolation. This service is broader because it can cover the structure of the sale, the main agreement, related paperwork and the practical sequence toward completion. That matters in share or unit sales because the legal risk often sits in the way several documents and steps interact, not in one clause alone. If you want support across the transaction rather than comments on one document only, this service is generally the better fit.

Timing varies with the structure of the deal, the number of parties involved and how settled the commercial terms are when legal work begins. A straightforward internal sale may move relatively quickly, while a transaction involving extensive warranties, disclosure negotiations or third-party approvals can take longer. Delays often come from missing information or slow negotiations rather than the first draft itself. If you have a target signing or completion date, it is worth flagging that early so the work can be planned around the proposed timetable.

That depends on whether signing and completion happen together or as separate stages. The next steps may include payment, transfer documentation, board approvals, updates to company records, delivery of disclosure materials or other completion items set out in the agreement. Some deals also include deferred consideration, restraint obligations or handover arrangements that continue after completion. This service can help with the core legal steps tied to the transaction documents, but it is not an ongoing retainer for later disputes, enforcement issues or wider post-sale advisory work.
