In the care sector, buying or selling a business isn’t just a financial transaction — it’s a highly regulated, people-focused process with many moving parts. Whether you’re expanding your care group, exiting the market, or restructuring your portfolio, you need legal support from advisors who understand the nuances of the care industry and can deliver a deal that works commercially, practically, and compliantly.

We specialise in handling care sector sales and acquisitions of all sizes, from single-site care homes to complex multi-site portfolios and REIT transactions. With deep, repeat experience in the care market, our team brings unrivalled sector insight and commercial acumen to every deal. We know the pitfalls and pressure points that are unique to care transactions — from CQC registration delays and funding requirements to TUPE transfers and regulatory compliance — and we know how to overcome them.

Our approach is pragmatic, proactive, and collaborative. We work closely with a trusted network of sector-specific professionals including care brokers, specialist accountants, funders, and consultants to ensure the transaction moves forward smoothly and stays on track. Communication is key — we don’t wait for problems to escalate; we resolve them early, often with a phone call rather than a chain of emails.

A key differentiator of our service is our in-house expertise on CQC registration and compliance. Because we understand how central CQC issues are to the success of any care deal, our lawyers are ready to guide you through the regulatory aspects of a transaction, helping you avoid delays, manage risks, and ensure continuity of care.

Whether you’re acquiring your first care business or managing a large-scale divestment, we’ll guide you through the legal process with clarity, precision, and care. From heads of terms to completion, we are your dedicated legal partner — ensuring your transaction is delivered on time, on budget, and with confidence.
