We are experts in a range of mergers and acquisitions transactions, including share sales and purchases, asset sales and purchases, demergers, fundraising and management buy-outs and buy-ins. We generally deal with transaction values of between £100,000 – £10 million. Whether you have made the decision to retire and sell your business after many decades or are a start-up or an established business looking to make your first or a series of acquisitions, we offer specialist advice and representation which is tailored to your particular objectives.
A share buyback is often (but not always) used during shareholder exits and is an effective way to extract cash from the company to realise the value of the shareholding or alternatively to return excess cash to a shareholder. Share buyback transactions can be highly tax-efficient but must comply with the strict provisions of Part 18 of the Companies Act 2006. Any breach of such provisions will result in the transaction being void which means it will be treated as it never happened i.e., the seller will be treated as if they continue to own the shares and the payment for the shares is liable to be returned to the company (which the company might find it difficult to recover). In addition, every officer of the company will commit a criminal offence. In other words, getting things wrong can have serious adverse legal and tax implications.

We offer specialist advice to start-ups, founders and angel investors on both equity and debt investments. There are a variety of ways for early-stage companies to structure their pre-seed and seed investments. In our experience, founders do not fully appreciate the importance of obtaining specialist legal advice in this area. We frequently hear from founders who, understandably, are afraid of incurring the expense of using specialist solicitors. While a cost-effective solution is a top priority at Birdi & Co Solicitors, we regard it as part of our duty to advise founders on the value in using solicitors who are familiar with fundraising transactions.
Settlement of Disputes Solicitors in London and Essex: Disputes arise in all areas of life and in business; some are unnecessary, and others are unavoidable. Although we will fight our client’s corner with rigour where that is the appropriate strategy, we strongly believe that going to court is an option of last resort and that, in most cases, every attempt should be made to try to settle the dispute by way of negotiation or other form of alternative dispute resolution.
