GOODWYN HERRERA SOLICITORS

Management Buyouts

A management buyout (MBO) gives the people who know a business best — its management team — the chance to take ownership and shape its future. While the opportunity can be exciting, the process is also complex, involving delicate negotiations, funding arrangements, and careful structuring to protect everyone’s interests.

At GWH Solicitors, we guide both management teams and business owners through the MBO process with clear, practical advice from start to finish.

For Management Teams

  • Assessing the opportunity – evaluating whether an MBO is the right route and understanding funding options.

  • Structuring the deal – balancing the needs of managers, lenders, and investors.

  • Negotiating terms – ensuring you gain control on fair and workable terms.

For Business Owners

  • Planning your exit – preparing the business for transition and maximising value.

  • Managing relationships – balancing loyalty to your team with protecting your own interests.

  • Smooth transition – securing agreements that safeguard both the business and its future growth.

Choosing the right solicitor can make all the difference in an MBO. At GWH Solicitors, we combine technical expertise with a practical, commercial mindset.

  • Clear guidance – complex structures explained in plain English.

  • Proven experience – supporting management teams, owners, and investors across multiple sectors.

“A management buyout isn’t just a deal on paper — it’s a leap of faith for a team who know the business best. My role is to make that transition as smooth as possible, balancing the ambitions of management with the expectations of owners and funders. It’s about creating fairness, building trust, and giving the people who drive the business every day the chance to shape its future.”

    After worrying to the point of becoming unwell with stress and many sleepless nights, a friend of mine put me in touch with a lawyer called Saimah. Saimah immediately put my mind at rest. She patiently listened to me, then calmly talked me through all my options and told me about the services and support she could offer me, in regards to the problems I was having with my landlord and the property I live in. She was very professional and had a lot of knowledge on the problems I was having and she also had a genuine kindness about her.

    “I just want to take the time to thank Saimah at Goodwyn Herrera Solicitors for all her support during my struggle with Barts’ Health NHS Trust. The moment I discussed the problem with her over the phone, Saimah has never left it or leave me hopeless. I don’t think no other firm would be so helpful, supportive and patient, during this pandemic. Besides, when thinking of the stressful situation I was going through when I was maliciously dismissed from work in March 2020.
