You’ve created and grown a successful business, but now your time has come to step aside and appoint a successor who will look after your business to ensure it continues to thrive. Business succession can be a very stressful process, as your decisions can ultimately affect the future of the businesses and situations are different, which is why our team of expert business succession planning solicitors can help to create a plan tailored to you. We will guide you through all the aspects of your business succession, including:
- Reviewing existing legal agreements that might determine the value of your business
- Where appropriate, discussing with any business partners or family members that might be involved
- Making sure that your will reflects your succession plans
- Considering how the business can continue to be managed in the event of your planned or unexpected absence
- Effective use of all available tax reliefs, for example Business Property Relief
- Keeping all your legal papers up to date and in a secure place

Testimonials
Negotiation skills and ability to have difficult conversations with difficult clients.
I worked on a transaction with Dominic Hollingsworth. He was extremely collaborative and went the extra mile for the client. Dominic was very pragmatic in his approach and his vast experience gave a lot of confidence. Dominic was highly commercial and a pleasure to deal with.
Partner led – each partner takes an active role in cases and overseas their respective teams. This supports deliverable outcomes. Large enough practice to have expertise within locality and across the three sites, they are very joined up, acting as one team.
Emma Reed – Pro-active and engaged. Able to articulate possible solutions, giving practical advice and standing behind her decisions.
Hayley Green – Offers practical and simple actions to resolve difficult situations. Able to communicate complex issues in a clear and concise manner
Emma Reed is great – we use Wollens because of her. She is totally trustworthy and has never dropped the ball for us on anything. She is very approachable, flexible and commercial.
