Business Sale & Purchase Agreements

Buying or selling a business is a significant commercial transaction that requires careful legal and strategic consideration. At Webb & Co Lawyers, we prepare, review, and negotiate business sale and purchase agreements to protect your commercial interests and minimise legal risk throughout every stage of the transaction.

Our team advises on the transfer of business assets, goodwill, intellectual property, leases, employees, restraint clauses, vendor finance arrangements, and due diligence requirements. We work to ensure every agreement is commercially sound, legally enforceable, and structured to reduce the risk of future disputes or litigation.

Independent Solicitor’s Certificates
Clear, Independent Legal Advice Before You Commit

Financial institutions and lenders may require an Independent Solicitor’s Certificate (ISC) before certain transactions can proceed, particularly where guarantees, mortgages, or complex financial arrangements are involved.

At Webb & Co Lawyers, we provide clear, practical, and independent legal advice to company directors, guarantors, business owners, and individuals so they fully understand the legal effect, obligations, and potential risks associated with the documents they are signing.

We offer prompt and professional fixed-fee ISC services, including urgent and same-day appointments where required.

Civil Litigation

Whilst it is preferable to resolve conflicts through discussion or negotiation sometimes litigation becomes unavoidable in order to protect a client’s interests.

No matter if your dispute is over an unpaid debt, business dealings, a lease or you have suffered a loss because of someone else’s actions we have experience in matters like yours. We ensure our clients who are contemplating litigation comprehend the benefits and risks in litigating before litigation commences. Whether a client is commencing or defending litigation, we develop a strategy and plan as early as possible with the aim of achieving the client’s goals within a manageable timeframe and so costs are kept to a minimum.

We appreciate that an unpaid debt can place significant financial pressure on your business and the added cost of litigating to recover that debt can result in you questioning whether pursuing a claim is worth it. We can advise you on what cost-effective options may be available so as to help you successfully recover the debt owed to you.
