Acquisitions and Divestments

Effecting a growth or exit strategy is probably one of the most important developments for any business and its stakeholders.

Whether that involves receiving or making debt or equity investments into businesses, effecting a management buyout, buying, selling or merging a business, or entering into a joint venture with another company, our corporate lawyers can help advise and support you.

Our team of experts are used to tailoring the nature and level of our assistance to our clients' needs. You may be in-house counsel working on an acquisition for your organisation, and need help with the legal due diligence process and report. Or you may be a small business owner in absolutely unfamiliar territory. It doesn't matter. We can help you through the transaction.

We are also experienced in working as part of a team of advisers. If you run a professional services firm yourself, we can provide additional gearing and transaction-drafting support to help you make it as cost-efficient as possible for your client.

Whatever your needs, we'll work within your time and budget constraints, with the flexibility to provide as much or as little legal advice and support as you require. And whatever your strategy, we aim to help you achieve your goal.

Vistra 2030: Preparing for a new era of globalisation

Vistra’s 2030 report is the fund and corporate service industry’s leading research series, one that examines changing client demands and how the industry itself is adapting. Our current edition incorporates survey responses from over 600 professionals, 20 in-depth interviews with industry leaders, and data and trends from nine previous reports.

Cross-border business and investment in a new era of globalisation

Following the most turbulent period in recent memory, Vistra surveyed over 600 professionals and conducted 20 in-depth interviews to better understand the challenges today’s global businesses and investors face. The result is the tenth Vistra 2030 report. Simon Filmer, who heads Vistra’s company formation sector, calls the latest report “our most comprehensive look yet at how and why businesses, investment firms, regulators and the industry itself are adjusting to a new kind of globalisation.”

DAC7: The businesses that must report and how to comply

DAC7 is an EU directive that requires digital platform operators to report certain information about the sellers that use their platforms. EU member states recently transposed the directive into law, and platform operators must file their first reports by 31 January 2024. While the first report must be filed in 2024, platform operators have been required to collect related data since 1 January 2023, placing both the platform operators and their reportable sellers at potential risk now.
