Discover our comprehensive Corporate & Commercial Law support services

Sales, acquisitions and mergers

An area where a lot of our team’s work is focused, we advise buyers and sellers on the full deal lifecycle – from heads of terms and structuring, through due diligence, drafting and negotiation of the sale and purchase agreement, disclosure and warranties, to completion and post-completion matters. Whether you are making a strategic acquisition, pursuing a buy-and-build strategy or realising value through an exit, we keep a clear focus on value, risk and timescales.

General corporate advisory and governance

We act as your go-to corporate advisors, helping you deal with the day-to-day legal questions that arise when running a company. Our team can also provide guidance on group structures, intra-group arrangements and corporate housekeeping so that your legal position always reflects how you actually operate.

Private equity support

We act for management teams, investors and portfolio companies on the full range of PE matters, with particular strength in buy-and-build and consolidation strategies. From initial investment and platform acquisitions through to bolt-ons, refinancing, add-on funding and exit planning, we support you across the entire transaction lifecycle. We are experienced in complex group structures, overseas subsidiaries and cross-border considerations, and are regularly recommended by specialist brokers and introducers.

Shareholder and investment agreements

We work with founders, management teams and investors to put robust frameworks in place around decision-making, control, returns and exit. From early-stage funding rounds through to later-stage investments, we ensure the documents truly reflect how you want the business to run.

Commercial contracts

We also draft, review and negotiate the everyday agreements that support your business, including terms of business, supply and distribution contracts, outsourcing arrangements and service level agreements.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with larger or listed companies?

No. Our corporate law services are focused on privately owned and non-listed businesses, including start-ups, owner-managed companies, family businesses and investor backed growth companies. We tailor our approach to the size, sector and stage of each client so that advice is proportionate and pragmatic.

Can you support us through a full merger or acquisition?

Yes. Our corporate team regularly advises on mergers and acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and business sales, from initial heads of terms through due diligence, negotiation and completion. We work closely with your other advisers and internal stakeholders to help transactions run smoothly and protect your position at every stage.

What ongoing corporate law support packages do you offer?

As well as one-off project support, we can provide retainer and subscription-style arrangements that give you regular access to our corporate lawyers, periodic governance reviews, updates on legal developments and priority input on strategic decisions. This helps you stay proactive rather than reactive and ensures your corporate framework keeps pace with your growth.

How do you work with our existing advisers?

We are used to collaborating with clients’ accountants, tax advisers, corporate finance teams and investors. Our aim is to complement their expertise, not duplicate it, so that together we create solutions that work legally, financially and commercially.

Can you help align our corporate structure with our people strategy?

Yes. Because Omny combines legal, HR, Health & Safety and Employee Benefits, we can help you align your corporate structure, governance and incentive arrangements with your wider people strategy. This joined up view supports a stronger culture, clearer accountability and better long-term outcomes.
