The legal execution of a deal, from term sheet to completion.

Buying or selling a business concentrates years of value into a handful of documents. Our M&A practice is the legal side of that moment. Due diligence, transaction documents, negotiation of legal terms, and the completion mechanics are what turn an agreed deal into a settled one.

We act on

Business and share sales

Sale agreements, disclosure, warranties and indemnities negotiated with a clear view of which risks actually matter and which are boilerplate anxiety.

Acquisitions

Legal due diligence that reports what a buyer needs to know (not everything a lawyer noticed), and transaction documents that secure what you're paying for.

Legal due diligence and disclosure

For sellers: preparing the legal position and disclosure so the deal survives scrutiny. For buyers: examining it so the price reflects reality.

Transaction structuring (legal)

Implementing the chosen structures share sale, asset sale, merger, restructure with the legal consequences of each made clear before commitment.

Warranties, indemnities and risk allocation

Where deals are really negotiated. We keep the allocation commercial and comprehensible.

Completion and post-completion

Conditions, adjustments, escrows, transition arrangements — and staying engaged until the last obligation is discharged, not just the main one.

The Daniel Jude group

Working alongside Daniel Jude Corporate Advisory

The commercial side of a transaction preparing the business, finding and negotiating with counterparties, running the process is the work of a transaction adviser, not a law firm. Clients who want that guidance can engage Daniel Jude Corporate Advisory, a separate business, and many use their own preferred advisers or none. Whoever runs the deal, Danie Jude Lawyer's role is the same: the legal execution, done properly.

Well suited to

Owners selling all or part of a business; acquirers of businesses and companies; parties to mergers, roll-ups and restructures; owners wanting legal readiness ahead of a future transaction.
