Business Acquisitions & Disposal

When considering acquiring or disposing of a business, it is fundamentally important to ensure that you work with expert advisors who can and will make a real difference to the success of any given transaction. Mills Chody has a knowledgeable and committed team of solicitors that will work with you to identify and understand your objectives so that your transaction can proceed in the best possible way.

Business acquisition involves an understanding of taxation and employment law, something which our team is well equipped to handle. Transfers of a business as a going concern need expert management to ensure they take advantage of all of the efficiencies and savings that can be achieved.

Our team has worked on transactions across a range of sectors including healthcare, retail, transport and energy. In particular, our healthcare team contains specialist solicitors, valued for their ability to innovate and provide cost-efficient solutions within this growing sector.

Recent work includes acting for a private company specialising in the purchase, refurbishment and of petrol service stations in their sale of a portfolio of multiple petrol service stations, including the disposal of the title to several freehold sites and the goodwill of the businesses as a going concern and advising on environmental issues, site access and petroleum licences.
