When considering a transfer of shares, the first important decision is whether the company itself is going to be acquired through the purchase of its shares, or whether the company will remain with the existing shareholders and sell the assets it uses to operate its business, often to another newly formed company.

The choice depends on numerous factors, not least the tax implications for both parties. Adams has expertise and experience in this area and can provide full support and reliable guidance from the initial decision making process, through due diligence and contract negotiations, to the close of the transaction and beyond. We work closely both with our clients and their professional advisers, including their accountants, to ensure that the transaction is completed economically and efficiently
