Corporate Law

The Tollers corporate law team members are particularly known for their pragmatic approach and deal management skills in management buy-outs and M&A mandates for owner-managed businesses in the mid-market within the northern Home Counties.

We assist owner-managed businesses and corporates when embarking upon corporate transactions including: sales, acquisitions, buybacks, mergers and reorganisations and to help them prepare and adapt for the future, ensuring that at each stage of the process, their interests are protected which in turn enables them to do business effectively and efficiently. Our experience and expertise supports our clients in achieving their goal of business success.

The team also acts for several banks, ranging from challenger banks to the “big four”, on various lending transactions and is appointed to the lending panels for those banks.

We also work closely with owner-managers of businesses on a wide range of legal issues that may arise from the inception of a business all the way through to an eventual exit.  The team advises on structuring businesses efficiently, which can mean putting in place investment, shareholders’ or partnership agreements for new businesses or involve the reorganisation of an existing business.  Careful preparation and planning on these structural issues means securing that all important exit, when the business owner has an opportunity to sell or retire, is both more likely and an easier process. During the course of that journey we are also able to represent investors and entrepreneurs when either investing in or seeking investment for private companies.

In addition, we advise companies in connection with share options, specifically employee share ownership schemes and structures in situations where a business has decided to incentivise its employees through some form of share ownership.
