THE commercial property and corporate teams at Friday Legal have assisted Sampson Park Limited in the acquisition of the Byre Veterinary Surgery in Werrington, Peterborough. Sampson Park Limited already owns veterinary practices in Oundle, Thrapston and Corby, so this latest acquisition further strengthens its growing independent network over Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.
All of Sampson Park Limited’s practices are focused on providing a high level of clinical care in a friendly and caring environment. The practices all offer a full range of veterinary treatments and are staffed by experienced, highly trained clinical teams. The purchase of the Byre practice strengthens Sampson Park’s regional footprint and offers the potential for the development of specialist out of hours and referral services.
The transaction involved the acquisition of a bespoke purpose built building, as well as the acquisition of the business, assets and goodwill of the existing practice.
Nick Park, Director at Sampson Park, said: “John Punni and his colleagues were superb, they made us feel as if nothing was too much trouble and did their utmost to make the transaction as smooth as possible for us. We felt very safe and relaxed in their hands.”
John Punni said: “Purchasing any business always has its own intricacies and, at Friday Legal we have extensive expertise in dealing with veterinary practices, as well as other similar sectors, including human healthcare and dentistry.”
“Friday Legal were able to assist in all areas of the transaction,” said Natalie Sampson of Sampson Park. “They have full expertise on property, corporate and employment law and dealt very knowledgeably with the regulatory issues in relation to the veterinary sector. “In addition, Duncan Crowther dealt with the banking documents and explained very complex matters to us in a very simple and concise manner.”
