Corporate and Commercial Team Advises On Disposal Of Large Transport & Travel Business.

The Corporate and Commercial team at Wilson Browne Solicitors recently advised the shareholders in the disposal of the entire issued share capital of a Midlands-based company operating in the transport and travel sector, for an undisclosed sum.

Additional advice involved the extraction of commercial properties into associated pension structures, leaseback arrangements, and the regularisation of a number of significant local government contracts.

The Wilson Browne team worked closely with accountants, pension trustees and tax advisors (to the clients concerned) to deliver smoothly, on time and in the most tax-efficient manner.

The project was led by Duncan Crowther (Partner) and Jessica Hooley (Associate Solicitor) within the Corporate and Commercial team, ably assisted by John Punni and Georgia Jones from the Commercial Property team.

Duncan Crowther commented:

We were delighted to have been selected to advise in this transaction and to have achieved all of the required outcomes for the clients concerned.

It was particularly satisfying to see the seamless interaction between the various different teams within the firm, which is a real testament to the strength and depth of the commercial legal services offering of Wilson Browne.

The firm’s ability to provide a complete full service offering on a regional basis really helps with the efficient completion of complex transactions such as this and makes the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible for the clients concerned.
