Deals are about more than price

The right M&A legal advice can accelerate your deal and secure the best possible outcome for everybody involved.

We support you through the entire process, answering your questions and helping you to reach the desired result with minimal stress.

Buying or selling a business is a major moment, often the result of years of work. And working with the right mergers and acquisitions solicitors plays a critical role in protecting value and managing risk.

We stay one step ahead, understanding commercial drivers and anticipating issues before they grow into roadblocks. You want to maintain momentum during an M&A deal, and we prioritise your best interests while managing all involved parties.

Whether you’re interested in share purchases or post-completion restructuring, our mergers and acquisitions services will get you where you need to go.

  • Negotiating deal terms and documentation
  • Post‑completion integration and restructuring

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I meet with your mergers and acquisitions solicitors?

We’re a very relationship-focused law firm, and we’d welcome you to any of our three offices (in Felixstowe, Chelmsford, or Colchester) for a friendly consultation about your M&A enquiry. You’ll also have the option of remote video calls if this is preferred – we can tailor our approach to suit your availability throughout the entire process.

How much do M&A services cost?

We price our services competitively to ensure that you’re given reliable M&A consultation from start to finish. The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your needs, and we can walk you through this during your initial consultation either at one of our offices, or over the phone.

How long do mergers and acquisitions take?

Your personal M&A timeline will depend on the complexity of the deal, but as a general rule of thumb, you can expect the transaction to take between 6 to 12 months from initial research to closing. This is something that we’ll discuss with you during our first consultation, so that you have a clear idea of expectations and timelines from the very start.
