Protecting your business interests in times of conflict
Corporate transaction disputes
Buying and selling businesses is a significant undertaking. Often millions of pounds change hands; there can be pages of warranties, earn-out provisions, deferred consideration, consultancy periods and more.
Many corporate transactions go smoothly; however, for those that don’t, swift and specialist advice is essential. The complexity of the process involved means that when disputes arise, more so than any other types of litigation, the right expertise is key.
Although it may seem the obvious choice to contact the transaction lawyers who drafted the original documents, they may not give you the clear and objective advice that is key to understanding your position and devising the best possible strategy to achieve your objectives.
We tailor our advice to your specific requirements, risks and sector niches and deliver a cost-effective solution, avoiding court intervention wherever possible.
