Solicitors Mergers & acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) involve combining two or more businesses or purchasing a target company outright. These transactions can significantly reshape a company’s strategic direction, open new markets, and spur growth. Given the high stakes—financial, legal, and cultural—securing expert legal guidance ensures the deal is structured properly and protects your commercial interests.

What does M&A involve in the UK?

  • Due diligence: Investigating the target’s financial health, assets, liabilities, and legal obligations before finalising a transaction.
  • Structuring the deal: Deciding whether the acquisition takes place via a share purchase, asset purchase, or merger, and tailoring the agreement accordingly.
  • Negotiating terms: Agreeing on price, warranties, indemnities, and other contractual protections to manage risk.
  • Regulatory considerations: Complying with competition law and any relevant sector-specific regulations (e.g., financial services or telecoms).
  • Completion and integration: Executing the final deal documents, transferring ownership, and planning post-merger integration for teams, systems, and processes.

How can a solicitor help with M&A, and what does it cost?

A corporate solicitor can:

  • Perform due diligence: Identifying red flags and uncovering financial, legal, or operational risks before you commit to the deal.
  • Draft and negotiate agreements: Creating a legally sound Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), Asset Purchase Agreement (APA), or other documents essential to the transaction.
  • Coordinate with regulators: Managing filings or notifications required by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) or other agencies.
  • Manage completion: Overseeing financial transfers, share issuances, and corporate documentation to finalise the acquisition smoothly.

Costs vary according to the complexity and value of the deal, as well as the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £200 to £500 for M&A specialists, and large transactions may involve higher fees or separate charges for due diligence and negotiation stages. Some firms offer fixed-fee packages for smaller deals, but most deals will require an initial consultation—often free or discounted—to estimate costs and develop a strategy tailored to your business goals.
