Beswick and Wine: Buying and Selling of Private Companies and Businesses, 7th edition
Written by Susan Singleton

"No one that buys this book will be disappointed" Law Society Gazette

The publication of the new 7th edition of Beswick and Wine: Buying and Selling of Private Companies and Businesses will be welcomed by all solicitors, accountants and corporate financiers involved in private company mergers and acquisitions.

Authoritative, well-structured advice
This well-established book will provide you with a step-by-step guide to the sale and purchase process and the key commercial, tax and legal issues arising from it. Structured to reflect the buying and selling process in practice, it considers in detail the issues arising from both the seller's and the purchaser's perspective.

Written by practitioners actively engaged in private company merger and acquisition transactions, it will help you to effect the sale or acquisition of a private limited company with confidence, from due diligence through to completion of the share purchase or business transfer agreement.

Coverage of important and extensive changes
This seventh edition reflects the impact of a number of significant changes to the law and applicable regulations since the last edition in 2001. In particular it has been revised to reflect:

  • Companies Act 2006 and its implementation from 2007 to date
  • Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 which has come fully into force since the 2001 sixth edition was prepared
  • Enterprise Act 2002
  • Pensions Act 2004
  • Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE)
  • Other recent legislation where relevant such as Consumer Protection from Unfair Marketing Regulations 2008

    • It also includes check-lists, draft enquiries, letters of disclosure and a specimen completion agenda, together with an accompanying CD-ROM containing all the precedents in the work.

    ...provides an excellent summary of the legal and taxation aspects of buying and selling a business or shares in a private company...invaluable as a practical guide." Journal of the Law Society of Scotland
