Navigating the complexities of buying or selling a business can be challenging. At Jamieson Law, we offer comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transaction. Right from the very start, we offer services for every step of the way: 

  • Due diligence: Most mergers or acquisitions will require a level of due diligence.  To learn more about what’s covered in due diligence, you can read our article here. Professional support through this process is often very helpful to ease the resource and expertise burden placed on business owners.  At Jamieson Law we can support you to ensure your business is thoroughly and accurately presented to ensure ease and transparency. 
  • Drafting and negotiating contracts: Commercially robust acquisition contracts are vital to protect your interests and facilitate a seamless transition.  Having a legal partner in your corner gives you peace of mind that throughout the process and once the transaction is complete, you are set for success. 
  • Legal compliance: The process of buying or selling a business also comes with many regulatory and compliance demands. At Jamieson Law, we take care of these at each point in the process. 


Our goal is to make the buying or selling process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. So whether you’re expanding your business or planning an exit, we’re here to help.
 

From our clients
"In 2022, we successfully completed our first business acquisition, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Jamieson Law by our side throughout the process. The acquisition involved extensive negotiations and coordinating with two finance companies, which presented a complex set of challenges. Jamieson Law's proactive, pragmatic, and efficient approach was instrumental in navigating these hurdles. They ensured that we remained legally compliant while maintaining a sharp commercial focus, which was crucial in closing the deal with confidence. Since then, Jamieson Law has become our go-to legal partner, and we have continued to rely on their expertise in our subsequent transactions."

Innovative Business Solutions

At Jamieson Law, we understand that navigating the complex world of corporate law is crucial for the success and growth of your business. Our experienced team is here to provide expert guidance and support across a wide range of corporate legal matters.

Whether you are looking to expand by acquiring another business or planning to sell your own, our team can guide you through every step of the process. We can provide detailed due diligence, draft and negotiate your sale agreements, thereby facilitating a smooth transaction.

Entering a business partnership requires clear, legally binding agreements to define each partner’s role, responsibilities, and share of profits. We draft partnership agreements that set the foundation for a successful business relationship. 

When collaborating with another business, a well-structured joint venture agreement is essential. Our team will help you outline the terms of your joint venture, including contributions, management and profit-sharing. 

Well drafted heads of terms can provide a preliminary framework and outline the key terms of the proposed transaction. This helps to align expectations and pave the way for a smoother negotiation and completion process.

The articles of association are crucial for defining the rules and regulations that govern your company’s operations. We’ll draft and review your articles to ensure they’re compliant and support your company’s objectives and governance. 

Balancing the interests of shareholders and the business owner is crucial for sustainable, positive business growth.  We draft agreements that clearly define the rights and responsibilities of all parties. 

Conducting due diligence is important when entering any major business transaction. The Jamieson Law team will review financial records, legal documents, and other critical information to identify potential risks, providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions.
