Every business sale or purchase is a major step legally, financially, and commercially.

 

Buying a business requires thorough due diligence, while selling demands a contract that protects your interests. The right legal advice ensures the deal is structured to work for you.

 

With expertise in commercial law and real-world business experience, I go beyond standard legal reviews to ensure the deal aligns with your goals.

 

From contract negotiations to risk management and settlement, I provide clear, strategic advice so you can make confident decisions at every stage.

"Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people."

  • Buying a business is a major investment, and the right legal advice can be the difference between a smart acquisition and an expensive mistake. I take a commercially minded approach, ensuring you understand exactly what you are buying, including contracts, liabilities, assets, and risks, so there are no surprises after settlement.

     

    From small businesses to larger operations, I make sure the legal side aligns with your commercial goals so you can move forward with confidence.

  • Selling a business is more than just a transaction. It is about securing the right terms, minimising risk, and ensuring a smooth transition. With expertise in commercial law and real-world business experience, I provide clear, strategic advice that cuts through complexity.

     

    From preparing contracts to negotiating key terms and managing settlements, I focus on protecting your interests while keeping the process efficient and stress-free.
