Acquisitions provides a clear and practical examination of all the key stages involved in the acquisition process, from investigating the target and drafting the sale and purchase agreement to completion of the acquisition. The guide also covers some of the particular considerations to be considered in the context of asset acquisitions, share acquisitions, and transactions funded by private equity, as well as dealing with aspects of pre- and post-sale intra-group transfers.
This edition provides detailed coverage of the various stages of the acquisition process, with separate sections dedicated to particular issues which arise in relation to different types of acquisition, and a chapter on private equity funding. The book includes a detailed explanation of the TUPE Regulations 2006, and also provides up-to-date coverage of relevant tax provisions.
