Mergers, Acquisitions & Disposals
AZJ Legal advises clients on mergers, acquisitions, and disposals, including share and asset sales, management buyouts, and group reorganisations. The firm acts for both buyers and sellers, with a focus on delivering clear, commercially negotiated outcomes in often complex and time-sensitive transactions.
AZJ Legal provides end-to-end legal support, from term sheet and heads of terms negotiation through to legal due diligence, transaction structuring, drafting of sale documentation, and post-completion matters. We are experienced in cross-border transactions and regularly coordinate with local counsel and tax advisers where required.
Clients include investment firms, portfolio companies, and founder-led businesses seeking to exit, grow by acquisition, or undertake strategic realignments. AZJ Legal ensures that each transaction is carefully structured to address regulatory, tax, and governance considerations relevant to the UK and Gibraltar.
AZJ Legal brings a commercially focused, partner-led approach to all transactional work, with an emphasis on delivering efficiency, reducing execution risk, and protecting the client’s strategic interests.
In a share sale, the buyer acquires the shares of the target company and assumes ownership of the company and its liabilities. In an asset sale, the buyer acquires specific assets and liabilities, rather than the company itself. AZJ Legal advises on both types of transaction and will help structure the deal to suit your commercial and tax objectives.
