Advising buyers of distressed businesses

Shoosmiths' corporate restructuring and advisory team regularly advises clients on the purchase of businesses and assets from administrators and liquidators.

As we regularly act for administrators and liquidators, we are well placed to advise buyers on negotiating the best possible terms into a contract, ensuring that the process is concluded as efficiently as possible.

We have extensive experience in structuring transactions, and our well-known commercial approach adds significant value for clients when purchasing distressed businesses. For buyers looking to purchase a distressed business through a pre-pack administration, we can use our industry network to help make the transaction run as smoothly as possible.

Recent experience includes:

  • Acting for Real Fun Group the buyer of Majestic Bingo Limited
  • Acting for Yours Clothing on the acquisition of Evans Clothing
  • Acting for the purchaser out of administration of the business and assets of Eigen Technologies Limited, a pioneering group in document intelligence and Intelligent document Processing within the Financial Services Industry
