The merger, acquisition or disposal of a business is an extremely complex matter. There are a number of major issues that must be addressed, not least the financial and emotional aspects of the deal.

When buying or merging there's the pre-deal planning that needs to be in place. It's also essential proper due diligence is undertaken to ensure that you know exactly what you are acquiring. And of course, there is the post deal integration of the acquired business, or merged entity.

The disposal of a business is often a very emotional time as well as one that may have life changing implications. It can take many years of dedication and skill to build and maintain a successful business. When the time comes to unlock the value that has been established it is vital that you choose the right team to ensure you get the most appropriate advice.
