Acquisition or disposal of a company

Need a lawyer to draft or negotiate the deed of acquisition or sale of a company?

The objective of our intervention is to secure the operation in the timing that is yours.

Before writing, we will have to make sure at least to:

• the existence of the company, the shares or shares purchased,
• their transmissibility,
• the validity of the current lease (s),
• the origin of ownership of any goodwill.

We must also carry out an analysis of any credits and guarantees in progress.

What formalities for the acquisition or sale of a company?

Gouache Avocats, a firm serving retailers and merchants, drafts and negotiates deeds of acquisition or sale of a company.

After this first analysis, it will be a question of achieving within the timeframe that is yours:

• obtaining the information and documents necessary for the preparation of the deeds;
• the drafting of the promise of assignment;
• the signing session of the deed at our office in Paris (or in electronic form); ➢ the drafting of the repetitive deed;
• the signing session of the repetitive deed

In parallel with the conclusion of the deed, the interest of the parties, in particular the buyer, could be to establish a guarantee from the seller for the liabilities and assets of the company.

The liability guarantee will allow the buyer to act against the seller if the latter has not informed him of all the debts of the company that would arise after the transfer, but whose triggering event would be prior to the transfer.

The asset guarantee will allow the buyer to act against the seller in the event that the net assets of the company decrease after the sale while the event giving rise to this decrease would be prior to the sale.

Gouache Avocats has developed a very complete deed of acquisition and sale of the company, perfectly protecting both parties, and has standard procedures for drafting the deeds of acquisition and sale of the company, which allow it to support brands and merchants optimally in their acquisitions or disposals.

The standardized nature of our intervention and our internal procedures allow us to keep turnaround times short and to maintain competitive rates.
