Our Partners
Legal Panel
It is vitally important, in any company sale, that the right legal advice be accessed. It is not solely a matter of the most expensive advice being the best advice - or the other way around! Each of the BCMS Corporate partner firms below have proven skills in deal making, being both efficient and cost-effective. Some are specialists in Mergers & Acquisitions work but all have dedicated deal making departments.
All the firms below are entirely independent of BCMS Corporate and are committed to ‘best advice’. Choosing the right law firm for your transaction is not like hiring a plumber. Take into account the profile of the purchaser, the complexity of the deal, the complexity of your own business or shareholding. Many sellers wait too long to appoint a legal team due to the belief that they will be charged substantial amounts immediately. The reality is that this is a rarely the case and the costs incurred can be dramatically outweighed by an optimised deal structure.
Each member of the BCMS Corporate panel has earned their right to be there through the quality and integrity of their work with our clients.

Wealth Management Panel
When you sell your company, a ‘liquidity event’ is created. This may be the only time in your life this happens and it will certainly dictate your future lifestyle. Past clients, who sold their businesses for maximum value, often subsequently failed to make the most of the deal consideration they received due to inadequate financial advice post deal. In view of this, we have built a panel of specialist wealth management advisors to help our clients as you can see below. Our partners differ in many ways, including varying strategies, varying attitudes to tax, varying financial products, etc.
