A business transfer involves the sale of the whole or part of the assets of a business by a company or an individual. A company is a separate legal entity and a company transfer is a type of business sale which involves the transfer of a company's shares from the seller to the buyer and results in the buyer owning the company, exactly as it was immediately prior to the sale.

Buying a house is stressful enough but we did it in a pandemic! Michelle Pepper has been fantastic at keeping me sane as she kept in contact. We had quick responses from herself and her team. Emails were answered and calls were answered which all helped to calm our stressful and very long journey of buying our house !

We instructed Gard & Co to represent us in relation to our house move and found them to be extremely thorough, easily contactable and very professional.
A couple of issues had arisen in relation to the purchase and these were dealt with resolutely and with our best interests in mind.
As the purchasers of a fairly expensive property, this was very important to us . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and her legal secretary Charlotte, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask them to act on our behalf again.

I have recently used Gard & Co (Karen McCormick) for my property conveyancing and found Karen and the firm to be highly professional, extremely helpful and attentive at all times. Quick to respond to queries, incredibly thorough with their enquiries and a speedy turnaround has helped to make a very stressful time much easier. Whilst my property purchase has sadly not gone ahead due to problems identified through the searches and buildings survey, I will not hesitate to use Karen again when I find my next property. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough especially with their "No Move, No Fee

My buyer used Guard and Co when purchasing my property, his solicitor was Karen McCormick. She made the whole process stressful and was absolutely useless, we had to arrange three different completion dates before she was ready, she even suggested an earlier date before the final completion actually happened. She was not ready to exchange after having plenty of warning and even took the day off work. We ended up exchanging and completing on the same day which made the day so stressful as I wasn't even sure I was going to move that morning. I would never use Guard and Co even if I was paid too!

We have recently used Gard & Co Solicitors to look after the purchase of a property. Our contact was Natalie Barham, one of the partners, and she was brilliant. Due to the current situation we had to use Zoom which was interesting. Natalie has this great knack of creating a relaxed atmosphere and explaining things clearly without being at all patronising, a rare gift. I was also impressed with her ability to identify possible concerns, which I didn't spot, and get them resolved swiftly.
We had a hard deadline for completion and we made it with time to spare. In short, with Natalie Barham you are
