Buying or selling a business is a major milestone that demands expert guidance to safeguard your interests and protect against unforeseen liabilities. Heald Solicitors act for buyers and sellers across a wide range of sectors, advising on due diligence, heads of terms, warranties, indemnities, and completion. We ensure your commercial objectives are met and your risks minimised.
Management Buy-Outs (MBOs)
Whether you are an owner seeking to pass the business to trusted managers, or a management team ready to take the next step, our corporate law experts provide early‑stage structuring advice, negotiation strategy, tax considerations, and full legal support throughout the MBO process.
Share Sales & Acquisitions
Share transactions require rigorous due diligence and precise drafting to protect both buyers and sellers. Our corporate lawyers guide you through warranties, indemnities, restrictive covenants, and disclosure obligations to ensure a secure outcome.
Shareholders’ Agreements
A robust shareholders’ agreement is essential for protecting rights, clarifying responsibilities, and preventing future disputes. We draft tailored agreements covering share transfers, voting rights, dividend policies, management structures, deadlock provisions and more.
Heads of Terms
Before contracts are drafted, properly structured heads of terms help define the commercial deal and set expectations. Heald Solicitors are experts in preparing legally sound, strategically drafted heads of terms that protect your negotiation position.
EMI Schemes & Share Options
To help your business attract and retain top talent, we design and implement Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) schemes that provide tax‑efficient rewards to key employees. From drafting EMI rules to liaising with accountants, we ensure your share incentive scheme is compliant and effective.
Joint Ventures
Joint ventures can accelerate growth, innovation and market expansion. We advise on structures, profit‑sharing, IP rights, financing, dispute resolution, and exit strategies to create a solid foundation for long-term success.
Partnership & LLP Agreements
For partnerships and LLPs, a well‑drafted agreement sets expectations, reduces risk and protects relationships. We prepare bespoke documents that set out duties, liabilities, management processes, and profit‑sharing arrangements.
Trading Terms & Conditions
Every business needs strong terms and conditions to protect against disputes, late payments, delivery issues, and liability exposure. Our commercial lawyers tailor T&Cs to your operational model, ensuring clarity and enforceability.
