Business Sale & Purchase

O’Reilly Law advises on all aspects of business acquisitions and disposals, acting for both buyers and sellers across a range of industries and transaction types.

We work closely with our clients from the earliest stages of a transaction to understand the commercial drivers, risk profile and strategic objectives informing the deal. Our role is to assist in structuring the transaction in a manner that aligns with those objectives, while ensuring that legal, regulatory and risk considerations are properly addressed from the outset.

Our experience includes advising on share and asset acquisitions, sales of businesses and divisions, management buy-outs, and strategic exits. We are involved throughout the transaction lifecycle, including the preparation and negotiation of heads of terms, conducting and managing legal due diligence processes, drafting and negotiating the definitive transaction agreements, and advising on conditions precedent, closing mechanics and post-closing implementation.

We take a hands-on approach to transaction management, coordinating with financial advisers, tax specialists and other professional advisers to ensure a streamlined and efficient process. Where issues arise during due diligence or negotiations, we provide clear, pragmatic advice aimed at preserving deal momentum while protecting our clients’ interests.

From pre-closing structuring through to closing and post-closing obligations, we focus on clarity, execution and certainty, ensuring that transactions are completed on a sound legal footing and with minimal disruption to our clients’ businesses.
