Mergers & Acquisitions
200 years of trusted commercial legal advice
When dealing with mergers and acquisitions you need to first determine what type of transaction you are referring to. A merger is when two companies combine to form an entirely new company, whereas an acquisition is when one company takes over another without absorbing it as a single entity.
Acquisitions can also be completed as either a share or asset acquisitions, and whilst many of the steps required such as due diligence are the same as an outright purchase, each of these instances requires a wholly different set of legal processes.
RHW has built up a team of expert solicitors whose sole role is to assist with mergers and acquisitions. They have expertise in both the letter and real-world application of the laws governing these complex transactions and are ideally placed to advise and assist organisations of all sizes and sectors.

Buying or Selling a
Business
There are a host of things to consider during the sale of a business. Whether you are buying or selling, steps need to be taken to protect confidentiality, ensure transparency and safeguard the future of the business and employees, whilst making sure the transaction proceeds smoothly.
Contractual
Agreements
It’s a particularly useful document in complex agreements such as Acquisitions, Mergers, Joint Ventures, Shareholders Agreements, Commercial Property Purchases and other major Business transactions.
Non-Disclosure
Agreements (NDAs)
A good example of where an NDA is strongly recommended would be in the case of an asset or share acquisition where parties will need to get together, sooner or later, to start negotiations.
