Get Notified When We Release New Episodes of the The Deal Room Podcast
The Deal Room Podcast provides information, interviews and
tips & tricks relating to the world of business sales and acquisitions
Each week your host Joanna Oakey, a seasoned legal professional, interviews industry advisors and
owners and managers of buying and selling organisations, to give a unique
perspective of both the “sell-side” and “buy-side”.
Buying or selling your business?
The wrong lawyers can cause a lot of pain in the sale process. A family or conveyancing or litigation solicitor may not be your best bet in having a seamless and successful business sale or purchase deal.
You need a lawyer who’s highly experienced in handling business sales and acquisitions. This short e-book will guide you in choosing one.
