Sale of the business

The sale of a family business can throw up a range of issues that have lain dormant for a number of years such as:

  • issues relating to land ownership
  • the tax consequences of the sale, both for the company and individual stakeholders
  • the future role of family members who wish to remain involved in the business post sale.

With a strong specialism in corporate and an in depth understanding of family businesses, we are uniquely positioned to advise on family business sales.

We are experienced in acting for both the seller and the buyer of family businesses.
