Looking to buy or sell a business?

We specialise in all legal aspects of business sale and purchase.

Business Sale & Purchase

If you are considering buying or selling a business (or part of it), we can help with the legal side of the transaction to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Our commercial lawyers are skilled at dealing with the issues and challenges that can arise during all stages of the business sale and purchase process, from initial due diligence to settlement and beyond. Whether you are selling or buying, and no matter if the business is small or large, we can help protect your interests, minimise risk, and reduce stress by providing pragmatic and cost-effective legal advice.

Get the contract reviewed before you sign

We always recommend our clients have business sale and purchase contracts reviewed by a lawyer before signing. As part of this process, we can either review an agreement that has already been prepared, for example by a business broker acting for the vendor, or prepare an agreement from scratch to suit the particular transaction.

Being involved at this early stage, or even earlier to assist with due diligence and negotiation, can help to ensure our clients are agreeing terms, conditions, warranties, and undertakings that are as favourable as possible. It also reduces the likelihood of surprises in the fine print.

Working with experts

We often work with business brokers, chartered accountants, and other professional advisers as part of the sale and purchase process. Our pragmatic approach to dealing with these advisers minimises the risk of legal impediments, while ensuring our clients receive the specialist advice they need, particularly relating to taxation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with two solicitors at Evolution Lawyers (Soomy Jang and Nimo Ni) and both were terrific.  They were very responsive, thorough, and careful to explain a complicated process as carefully as possible. Nimo followed up to answer questions even after settlement. Dana Carrad, Office Coordinator, was also fantastic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received with my inheritance case, which was quite complex due to international inheritance laws.  Throughout the entire process, they were responsive, professional, and transparent. They took the time to explain things clearly and made a complicated and stressful process feel much more manageable.

I also really appreciated how fair and reasonable they were with their fees. They never charged excessively and often took extra time to answer my questions and provide guidance without adding extra charges.

I truly appreciated their expertise, patience, and genuine support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evolution Lawyers recently handled the sale of my property. I have utilised their services in the past for a sale and purchase, their good service is why I chose them again. Josh was a pleasure to work with and kept me updated all the way. I really liked the teams meeting to sign the final documents. Saved a lot of time by doing this.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Evolution lawyers was first class. From the very interaction through to final settlement service was fast and straightforward. We got good solid advice through the process and our lawyer Soomy was clear in his advice. I am a lawyer myself which is always a tough client and I have no hesitation in highly recommending this firm. It is modern, tech savvy and so easy to engage with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a real blessing to have Evolution (Nimo & Tamina in particular) oversee the purchase of our property outside of Auckland. Was not a straightforward process. So many unplanned obstacles & delays throughout - but their professionalism, patience & empathy in equal amounts, kept us from worrying & stress.
Forever grateful & I highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently reached out to Tamina after not having worked together for some time.

As an ERP implementation consulting firm Primacc Systems deal with complex commercial situations regularly, and on this occasion, we needed clear guidance quickly. Tamina was incredibly responsive and provided practical, well-considered advice at a time when it really mattered.

What stands out most is her ability to listen, understand the context, and give straightforward, commercially sensible guidance without overcomplicating things. That combination of responsiveness, clarity, and sound judgement is exactly why Evolution are our lawyers.

If you want the right people in your corner then we highly recommend.  You won't be dissapointed.
