RAPID CONTRACTING
Legal Contracting for Business Sales and Purchases – this is legal like it should be!
We’re specialists in working with business owners through their acquisitions and exits – we love it!
A quick heads up – you may have already noticed we’re a little bit different to most commercial legal firms… we specialise in business sales and acquisitions (in fact, it’s 63%-ish of what we do!).
How We Do This
Processes, systems and checklists
Processes, systems and checklists are used by our team to streamline our side of things, and that helps us make the process much, much faster than most legal firms are able to achieve. This made it possible for it to become a core area of our business!
A team of great minds
A team of great minds runs every sale or acquisition at Aspect Legal! One of the keys to streamlining work is using a Paralegal Project Manager to keep things moving. A Senior M&A Lawyer will be working on technical/legal aspects of your file, and you’ll also always have a Paralegal Project Manager who will be working on your contracts and ensuring that documentation and streamline communication is moving efficiently throughout the sale process. They’ll be giving you updates along the way (they’re also great at ‘nudging’ the other side when needed too).
We do this for deals of all sizes – micro deals through to mid market deals. This combined approach – is what we’ve called RAPID CONTRACTING.
Why is this Different?
Most business owners will only buy once and sell once in their whole business lifecycle. Therefore, the lawyers who support them will only work on 1 acquisition or 1 sale for that client in the whole lifetime that they work with that particular client – so it makes no sense to focus on this as a core area of their business. Instead… we invested in making it work.
PARTNERS WE WORK WITH
What does RAPID CONTRACTING achieve?
Rapid Contracting™ achieves contracting turnaround at ⅓ the speed of the market average – for small deals what sometimes takes weeks is days, for larger deals – what can take months on end becomes weeks.
📌For deals under $2m, where we can use standard state-based business sale templates, our process enables us to move from the point when we receive full instructions on a matter to having a draft of the contract ready for you within 1 – 3 business days… this is unheard of in the world of contracts in this area of law. It also means our lawyers are freer to help navigate any of the issues along the way – they know they have a solid team keeping everything ticking along behind the scenes!
📌For deals over $2m…that’s rapid too – we’ve exchanged sales worth more than $15m, and complex sales to listed entities, in under 3 weeks. But that’s another story.
