Mergers and acquisitions

Specialist merger and acquisition lawyers

Rix & Kay’s corporate lawyer team consists of specialist merger and acquisition lawyers who provide coverage across Sussex, Kent, Surrey and London.

Advising on all aspects of acquisitions and disposals, across a range of sectors, is at the heart of what we do and our work often includes an international dimension.

Take a look at the most recent merger and acquisition deals we have advised on.

The sale or purchase of any business can be a complicated and sometimes daunting experience. We know how important it is that you have a team of merger and acquisition lawyers to work with you that not only have the technical capabilities to get the deal done but a team that understands your own personal emotions and motivations that often sit at the heart of important decision making.

We apply a hands-on approach and lead on project management, which allows us to develop longstanding relationships with businesses and their leaders. We are always open as to how a project is undertaken, allocating the right resource on a case-by-case basis to deliver the outcome the client wants in a seamless and timely manner.

Our clients find our approach refreshing and our track record for advising clients, over many years through recurring M&A activity, speaks for itself. Our ability to standardise process and documentation in such circumstances, allows client executives to better control process and cost.

Where M&A activity involves other jurisdictions we have trusted relationships with overseas law firms who we can introduce, should this be required.

“Providing an invaluable service, the team is regarded for its specialist commercial advice as well as its deal making capacity. Kathryn Paisley, helms the practice, regularly advising clients on transactional issues and working closely with the Eurojuris network of international lawyers. Alan Zeal is also regarded for his experience in high value deals, as well as corporate restructuring, incentive arrangements, and director/employee equity agreements”.

“Kathryn Paisley is exceptional – she is expert, experienced and builds trusted relationships quickly which then leads to much more productive and quicker resolution of issues or establishing a point of view. I have worked on a number of deals with Kathryn, and she is simply superb”.

“Throughout the entire process of the sale of our company, Kathryn Paisley and Daniel Halls provided a wealth of knowledge. Both were always accessible and patient which helped to keep our stress levels down. With their expertise and guidance, the successful sale of our company was guaranteed”.

“The team at Rix & Kay are extremely personable. They genuinely care about our business and best interests. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are always happy to take the time to explain complex legal jargon and ensure we fully understand the detail. Compared to other firms we have engaged with, Rix & Kay value our business, not matter how large or small”.
