BESWICK & WINE IS A CLASSIC VINTAGE NOW!
Susan Singleton provides an excellent summary of the legal and taxation aspects of buying and selling a business or shares in a private company- it is invaluable as a practical guide.
The seventh edition of this most well respected book continues to provide a sensible and structured step by step guide to the sale and purchasing process and the key commercial, tax and legal issues arising from company and business sales.
This essential manual has been show more designed to reflect the buying and selling process in practice and it addresses fundamental issues from the perspectives of both the seller and the purchaser.
“Beswick & Wine” is written for practitioners actively engaged in private company merger and acquisition transactions and remains vital reading for all solicitors, accountants and corporate financiers. There are six parts covering the seller and buyers perspectives, the acquisition agreement, post-completion and special situations which can arise like buy-outs, and finally 13 precedents which make up a quarter of the book and they provide excellent, carefully drafted detail for all concerned.
CHANGES SINCE 2001
This updated edition takes account of various changes to the law and applicable regulations since the publication of the last edition in 2001, and includes:
• Companies Act 2006 and its implementation from 2007 to date
• Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, which has come fully into force since the 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 Trading Regulations 2008
From due diligence through to completion of the share purchase or business transfer agreement, Susan Singleton gives us what we expect: clear, expert advice which is a hallmark of Tottel’s publications. Issues of particular significance to the sale and purchase process are not addressed as separate topics in the conventional manner but in the context in which they would usually appear in the transaction.
Singleton’s describes the companies expressed to be bought or sold as (i) unquoted, (ii) limited by shares and incorporated under the Companies Acts, and private companies. She does add this comment that although some acquisitions are of public companies, when she worked at Slaughter & May, “that would frequently be the case” she concludes that “most acquisitions in the UK are not of public companies” and her practice since then has largely been concerning private sales so this is the market addressed by the book.
Singleton succeeds admirably with her task and brings that special editorial expertise which makes her a great and worthy successor to Humphrey Wine and Simon Beswick. show less
