There are two basic methods of acquiring the business of a company :

• The purchaser can buy the shares in the company or companies carrying on the relevant business, or

• The purchaser can buy the underlying business and assets directly.

The structure of the transaction will affect not only the legal form of the required documentation, but also the extent of the investigations which the purchaser will need to carry out prior to the purchase.

From a seller's point of view, it will often be more advantageous to structure a transaction as a share sale rather than an assets sale.

From a purchaser's point of view, the acquisition of specified assets may be preferable, since there will be less risk of taking on unexpected liabilities.

A purchaser should ideally identify at an early stage, with our help, its preferred structure for the transaction.

The investigations carried out by a potential purchaser are traditionally described under three headings:

• Legal Due Diligence,

• Financial Due Diligence,

• Commercial Due Diligence.
