Business purchase and sale.
The contract, the due diligence, and settlement when a business changes hands.
Your people
The work.
Business purchase and sale is its own practice here, next to commercial law. The work is the sale contract, what is being promised about the books, the lease or the premises, and the employees or restraints that travel with the deal.
Theodosi Cotsaris, Mariah Ikonomopoulos and Charlotte Woodroffe are the commercial lawyers. If the premises are leased or owned, property and conveyancing are in the same office.
Fees, before you begin.
We do not publish a fixed fee for this work. Fees are set out up front, before the file is opened, so ask for the estimate in the first conversation.
Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm them with us before relying on them.

Questions about business purchase and sale.
- Who acts on the sale of a business?
- The commercial team: Theodosi Cotsaris, Mariah Ikonomopoulos and Charlotte Woodroffe.
- Can the same firm do the premises as well as the business contract?
- The firm lists conveyancing and property law as well as business sales, so the lease or the land can stay in the same office. Confirm that on your file.
- Is due diligence included in a standard fee?
- No standard fee is published. Ask the estimate to say whether due diligence is included.
