SQE Plus Acquisitions

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 factors 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.

The book includes a detailed explanation of the TUPE Regulations 2006 and up-to-date coverage of relevant tax provisions. The fundamentals of international acquisitions are considered by reference to the law and practice of England and Wales, but with comparisons and references to the variety of differing approaches taken in other jurisdictions.

This new 2024 edition of The University of Law SQE Plus manuals has been revised to bring the law and procedure up to date as at 1 October 2023.

This book is part of a series of study manuals that have been specially designed to cover content for students studying Key Practice Areas on the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2). Published and updated regularly, these user-friendly study manuals are designed to help you successfully acquire knowledge and understanding of the foundational law of England & Wales.  This book can be used for the Mergers & Acquisitions Key Practice Area as part of the Corporate Pathway of the SQE Plus.

Each title is designed to operate as a study manual, rather than solely a textbook. This means that understanding of the subject is developed using worked examples and activities.

For students only at The University of Law, the study manuals are used alongside other learning resources to prepare students not only for achievement of an academic qualification, but also for a future life in professional legal practice.
