Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about Corporate and M&A law in the UK, answered.
A typical M&A transaction in the UK involves several key stages: preliminary negotiations and signing of a letter of intent (LOI), due diligence, drafting and negotiation of the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), obtaining merger control clearance, closing, and post-closing integration.
In a share deal, the buyer acquires the shares of the target company, thereby acquiring the company as a whole, including all its assets and liabilities. In an asset deal, the buyer acquires specific assets of the target company, without assuming its liabilities, unless specifically agreed.
The main corporate governance requirements for a limited company in the UK include having a board of directors, annual general meetings, proper financial reporting, and compliance with the Companies Act 2006. The company's articles of association govern its internal structure and decision-making processes.
