Your business plans
Buy or sell a business in France
Prepare the commitments involved in an acquisition or sale and understand the steps through to completion.
Prepare your proposed transaction
You may be taking over a business, buying a company or selling your own enterprise. The practice advises buyers or sellers on the transaction’s issues, negotiates the commitments and organises the steps towards completion.
How the practice can assist
- Prepare or review a letter of intent and preliminary agreements.
- Examine the company’s or business’s legal documents and identify matters requiring attention.
- Negotiate and draft the sale agreement and transaction-specific warranties.
- Assist with agreed conditions, signatures and any planned post-completion work.
How the engagement progresses
Define the transaction
What is being transferred, the parties’ expectations, proposed price and timetable.
Review and negotiate
Legal due diligence proportionate to the transaction, contract review and preparation of commitments.
Organise completion
Follow up agreed conditions, finalise documents and coordinate signatures.
The engagement is tailored to the transaction and your position, with fees agreed in advance. Remote communication is primarily by video call and email.
