THE financial year of Friday Legal Solicitors, the premier business law advisers in the County, ended at the end of March and the directors are celebrating an extraordinary year which has seen them acting on no less than 15 corporate acquisitions and over 25 company and business sales.
The values of the transactions have ranged between £25 million at the top end, down to less than £1 million at the lower end, and have involved the sale of some extremely well know businesses based within the county.
Buyers have ranged from recognisable international brands as well as national, listed and local businesses seeking to expand their enterprises through acquisitions.
All of the transactions have been carried out by the commercial and corporate team within Friday Legal with assistance from their commercial property, employment law and litigation colleagues.
Douglas Iles, Managing Director of Friday Legal, said: “We are very proud of our achievements in this area and take great pride in the work that we carry out for our clients. The sale or acquisition of a business is often the most important commercial transaction that a business can enter into and we are experienced and agile enough to be able to advise on both legal and commercial issues without getting distracted or derailed by inconsequential irrelevances that regularly present themselves during the course of such transactions. We are also proud that we are able to provide this service in a very timely and efficient manner and in all but one case, we were able to agree a fixed fee with our clients at the outset of the transaction to ensure that there were no nasty surprises for our customers on conclusion of the engagement.”
John Punni, another of the founder owners of Friday Legal Solicitors, who regularly advises in relation to the commercial property aspects of the transaction said:
“Every transaction involving the purchase or sale of a business is unique and throws up different challenges and issues that need to be dealt with, but with the experience that we have at Friday Legal and the familiarity that we have with banking documentation, commercial leases and freeholds, we are always able to provide a clear path through for our clients in order to achieve their ambitions.”
Friday Legal Solicitors expect to appoint a further three commercial solicitors to this every expanding department during the course of the next few months and intend to continue to strive to be the number one choice within the county for the purchase and sale of businesses, business properties and commercial assets.
