Business Merger & Company Acquisitions Solicitors
AMD Solicitors have extensive legal experience helping commercial clients with business acquisitions and company mergers. We have acted for both buyers and sellers of private limited companies, large and small, across a broad range of sectors.
Our specialist commercial lawyers seek to ensure the legal implications of any deal are considered in line with the commercial factors so our clients can continuously consider the merits of the deal during every stage of the process.
Although the process is not without risk, a successful business acquisition provides a good opportunity to acquire key assets such as personnel, contracts, client lists, alternate business strategies and brand/IP rights.
To minimise the risks of an abortive acquisition, careful planning and realistic timescales and deadlines are paramount. The earlier we are involved to help structure the deal and expedite the due diligence process, the better chance a deal will complete on time.

What our Clients say
“The service from the team at AMD for my recent house sale and purchase was superb. Specifically, I wanted to acknowledge the following; Positive attitude, responsiveness, and clarity at the stage when I was calling around to choose a conveyancer (making the choice of solicitor easy). That first contact set the high-quality tone for all my interactions with AMD.
There were many ups and downs during the purchase of my new house, and my appointed solicitor helped me stay calm and always had clarity on what we should do next.
I would highly recommend AMD.”

“Rebecca Martin is for sure a golden star at AMD Solicitors! She was super-efficient with emails and always being on top of things. This has made the whole sales process extremely smooth, to the point that even I was surprised on how quickly it all finished, when you consider how many nightmare stories you read around the internet regarding conveyancing and slow responding solicitors etc.
I cannot recommend her and AMD enough!”
“Dear Grant,
I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude towards yourself and Jack for the fantastic work you have produced on a shareholder’s agreement for our company, Howha PMI Limited.
We knew we needed a shareholder’s agreement, however, whilst we are experts in the Private Medical Insurance (PMI) field, I would say we are rather uneducated when it comes to shareholders’ agreements. Therefore, we wanted professional advice from someone who would explain the agreement, and process in plain English. Something I’m pleased to say both you and Jack achieved.
During the process we had to change the goal posts and AMD took this in their stride. We believe any company who have multiple directors should have a shareholder’s agreement in place and any company looking for one, should be contacting AMD Solicitors to set it up.
Thank you once again for your time and expertise.”
