Our Experience

Joint Venture Agreements

  • Acting for a national housebuilder entering into a major residential development joint venture with a housing association.
  • This was a complex £100M transaction involving a large site in multiple ownership.
  • The development project had been nearly 20 years in the making, with infrastructure works and some housing already under construction.
  • We handled the preparation and negotiation of the LLP Members Agreement, Asset Transfer Agreement and numerous other documents, working with several other firms, under tight timescales, driven by both commercial and financial considerations, including our client’s stock market reporting requirements.

Management Buy-Outs

  • Advising on the management buy-out of a family owned logistics company.
  • We acted for the outgoing owners who had grown the company from a relatively small removals business in the 1960s into a nationally recognised freight and logistics operation, which they were now handing over to the next generation. The buy-out involved a complex corporate restructuring, requiring a high degree of technical expertise while ensuring that the parties were provided with clear, practical advice throughout

Business Acquisitions

  • Handling acquisition of telecoms company.
  • A longstanding client had identified a Midlands-based telecoms company as an acquisition target. We were closely involved from the outset, undertaking investigatory legal due diligence and negotiating, documenting and concluding the successful acquisition for our client.
