Duo of Successful Transactions aided by Tax Consultancy Team

The tax consultancy team at WR Partners has used their expertise to help two businesses complete complex transactions in recent months.

The Translation People, a language services provider, has completed a management buy-out. The business, established over 40 years ago, has offices based in the UK as well and in Europe. Tax consultants from WR Partners worked with the vendors to review the share purchase agreement and completing shareholders tax planning advice.

The Morris Group has sold six of their care homes located in Shropshire and Cheshire to Impact Healthcare REIT Plc. WR Partners advised the Morris Group on various areas of the sale, including reviewing the share purchase agreement, assessing tax liabilities arising from the sale and reviewing potential VAT recovery on professional fees incurred throughout the deal.

Lyndsey O’Loughlin, Company Secretary and Group Solicitor at Morris @ Company Ltd commented “It was a pleasure to work with Andy, James, Charlie and the team at WR Partners on the sale of Morris Care which was another significant step in the Morris Group’s 153 year journey. The whole team at WR Partners worked closely with us throughout the sale process providing quality advice in a timely manner reflecting our own commercial philosophy – “Excellence as Standard “.

James Clark, Tax Director at WR Partners said “We were pleased to advise both companies and shareholders on each disposal, working closely with our clients and the other professional advisers involved. The two transactions were very different and involved different members of the WR team, showing the strength and quality of our firm.”
