Lyon Croft Law provides strategic corporate M&A legal services to businesses, shareholders, and management teams undertaking mergers, acquisitions, disposals, and joint ventures. We advise at every stage of the transaction lifecycle, combining legal precision with commercial awareness to ensure transactions are structured efficiently, risks are properly allocated, and outcomes align with long-term business objectives.

At the outset of every transaction, we conduct a strategic legal and commercial analysis to ensure the proposed deal aligns with your business objectives. This includes identifying key regulatory considerations, assessing transaction risk, and advising on the most appropriate legal structure to support value creation and long-term growth.

Our approach ensures that M&A is not treated as a standalone legal exercise, but as part of a wider commercial strategy.

M&A Services

We advise our clients when buying or selling businesses. We take a pragmatic and holistic approach to simplify complex transactions where possible and assist our clients at every stage of the process.

Whether you are acquiring a business, or selling it or navigating private equity deals, our team delivers tailored advice at every step of the journey.

A merger typically involves two businesses of similar size joining to form a new entity. However, if you acquire a business, this is the purchase of one company by another via share acquisition. UK-based M&A transactions require careful planning and expert guidance.

M&A lawyers are essential in navigating due diligence, deal structuring, and regulatory compliance. Clients may want to structure a deal as share or asset purchases, each with distinct legal and tax implications.

Effective legal support ensures smoother transactions, reduces risk, and maximises value—critical in today’s complex M&A environment.
