B & D Plastics Company Sale
We employed Ellisons as our legal team for the sale of our business. As it turned out, a very good decision!
Paul Forsyth & Alfie Rowland were our main points of contact and they were thorough and professional throughout the whole process.
We didn't realise what a task awaited us at the outset, but the advice and guidance we received to get us through the legal process was exceptional.
Big thanks to Paul & his team, you were a pleasure to deal with.

Selling your business- the legals
Selling your business you've spent years building is a stressful and scary prospect- you'll probably only do it once and you want it done right. Having a good legal team to guide you through the process is an absolute necessity. We found the commercial team at Ellisons to be personable, professional and very helpful through this unique (to us) period of time. Tight time scales and a wide range of issues, from lease legalities, commercial property sale issues, and sensitive commercial information about your business, there are a lot of hurdles to jump to get to an end goal. We were glad we chose Paul and his team at Ellisons, they worked diligently and professionally to lead us to the best result for us.

Excellent service, advice and support
I recently engaged Paul and his team at Ellisons to represent me and support me in the sale of my business. From the very beginning of the process through to the completion date and post-care, their service and advice has been second to none.
I will definitely continue to work with the firm in the future.

EMI Scheme and new articles of association
All good - very clear and relatively straightforward (given the complexity of the situation). Abligail took over well after Paul F laid the parameters.

Share Agreement Documentation
Although long, the document preparation was considering many scenarios. Ellisons worked with us to produce and explain each part.
A thorough support.
