Deal Point is a regular briefing on issues relevant to corporate transactions, notably M & A and reconstructions. Each edition of Deal Point will focus in detail on one area of law and practice which may be of interest to principals and practitioners in the corporate transactions area:

  • data protection
  • warranty & indemnity insurance
  • MBO sales
  • financial assistance
  • disclosure & prior knowledge
  • changes in merger policy
  • new TUPE regulations
  • confidentiality agreements
  • the companies act 2006
  • the fraud act 2006
  • corporate manslaughter
  • capital gains tax reforms
  • due diligence and cartels

A particular area of expertise is transactions with cross-border implications in which we can draw upon the skills of colleagues throughout the world, via the Multilaw organisation.

We know the importance of billing flexibility and are therefore comfortable with working on a contingency fee basis.
