Expert assistance for mergers, acquisitions and sales
Buying or selling a business is a pivotal moment in any commercial journey. Whether you are preparing for a strategic exit, acquiring a new opportunity, or restructuring your operations, the decisions you make during a transaction can have long-lasting implications.
At Parslows LLP, we provide clear, commercially focused legal advice to help Jersey clients navigate the complexities of business sales and acquisitions with confidence.
We understand that no two transactions are the same. Each deal comes with its own set of objectives, risks, and commercial dynamics. That is why our approach is always tailored, ensuring that our advice aligns with your goals, the nature of the business, and the structure of the transaction, whether it involves the sale or purchase of shares, assets, or a combination of both.
Our team advises on all stages of the transaction lifecycle, including:
We guide you through the legal and practical considerations of transferring ownership, whether you’re dealing with company shares or specific business assets.
We help you establish a clear framework for the transaction early on, identifying key commercial terms and structuring the deal to suit your strategic and financial objectives.
We conduct thorough reviews to identify potential legal risks, liabilities, and compliance issues, helping you make informed decisions and avoid surprises post-completion.
We draft and negotiate robust agreements that reflect the commercial terms of the deal and protect your interests throughout the transaction.
We advise on the scope and impact of contractual protections, ensuring that risks are appropriately allocated and that disclosure processes are handled efficiently.
We assist with transitional services, employee matters, and ongoing obligations to ensure a smooth handover and continued operational stability.
Smooth transition for your merger, acquisition, or sale
Our legal team works closely with accountants, tax advisers, and corporate finance professionals to ensure that all aspects of the transaction are aligned and legally sound. This collaborative approach helps to streamline the process, reduce friction, and ensure that your commercial and financial goals are fully supported.
Whether you are a business owner seeking to realise value from years of hard work, or an investor looking to expand your portfolio, we provide practical, strategic legal support that helps you move forward with clarity and assurance. We understand the local market, the regulatory environment, and the commercial realities of doing business in Jersey—and we bring that insight to every transaction we advise on.
At Parslows LLP, our focus is not just on completing the deal, but on ensuring that it delivers long-term value. We help you understand the risks, negotiate effectively, and manage the legal process with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. Our goal is to make complex transactions feel manageable, and to give you the confidence to make informed decisions at every stage.
If you are considering buying or selling a business, or simply want to explore your options, our team is here to help. We offer clear, commercially driven advice that’s grounded in local expertise and tailored to your specific needs.
