Our experienced corporate team specialises in advising management teams, vendors and other funders on the intricate details of MBOs and MBIs. With a deep understanding of the legal and financial challenges involved, we are dedicated to protecting your interests and ensuring a successful outcome.
A management buy-out is when a company’s existing management team purchases the business, often with the help of external investors or funders. MBOs are common when owners want to retire or sell the business to those who are already familiar with its operations. They offer a seamless transition of ownership but require careful legal structuring and planning to succeed.
A management buy-in is when an outside management team purchases a stake in a business assisted by a private equity fund and replaces the outgoing management. A MBI team will likely want to conduct detailed due diligence and want robust protection. Private equity may take primary responsibility for the deal and the management team may require separate legal advice.
From initial planning to final execution, our solicitors handle every legal aspect of your MBO or MBI. We draft and review all necessary documentation, ensuring that every agreement is legally sound and in your best interest.
Our team is skilled in negotiating warranties, terms, and other critical components of the deal. We work to secure favourable terms that align with your business goals.
We conduct transaction specific due diligence to identify potential risks and address them before they can impact the transaction. Our targeted approach helps ensure that your MBO or MBI is built on a solid foundation.
We work closely with your other professional advisors, including accountants and financial consultants, to coordinate efforts and achieve a seamless transaction.
