Smaller Company Sales & Acquisitions

I’ve led hundreds of sales and acquisitions, from selling divisions of listed companies to buying a Premiership Football Club. Highlights include advising on three acquisitions in a single day to align with year-end results, and major deals in the engineering and property investment sectors.

How Red House Consultancy Can Help

Now it is just me, so I advise on deals at the smaller end of the market – generally below £5m. Anything larger requires a larger team.

A company sale (or a sale by a company of the whole or a part of its business) is governed largely by pages of warranties and indemnities which allow for the buyer to reclaim some of the price that he has paid in the event that any of those turn out not to be accurate. I draft and negotiate the acquisition agreement and advise on the warranties and indemnities and ensure that relevant disclosures are made to prevent any claim under a warranty.

Since the Red House Consultancy started, I have advised a number of smaller deals including the acquisition of a number of accountancy practices (both companies and partnerships) for a London based accountancy practice, the sale of a local window supplies company, the sale of a company which owned a number of McDonalds franchises and the sale of a garden landscaping company.

What Our Clients Have To Say

  • “A Practical Commercial Lawyer”

    “Tim has advised me for more than 20 years. He’s a genuinely practical commercial lawyer. I had no hesitation in continuing to use him after his illness forced his early retirement from his City firm. He still advises me and my business on a number of issues, including contracts in general, acquisitions and restructuring.”
