Sharing sensitive information?

Whether you’re discussing a potential deal, partnership or investment opportunity, it’s important to make sure the right protections are in place before confidential details are shared.

Rubric’s free NDA Builder helps you create a tailored Non-disclosure Agreement based on your specific situation, giving you a more useful starting point than a generic template. Find it on our website: https://rubric.law/legal-resources/non-disclosure-agreement/

Here’s our Managing Director, James Howell, to explain how it works 👇

What are Heads of Terms in M&A?

When a business sale or acquisition starts to take shape, Heads of Terms help set out the key points of the deal before the detailed legal documents are prepared.

They usually cover areas such as the proposed price, deal structure, payment terms, timescales, conditions, exclusivity and any key points that need to be agreed before the transaction moves forward.

While Heads of Terms are usually not fully legally binding, they play an important role in giving both sides a clearer framework from the start. They help confirm what has been agreed in principle, highlight any areas that still need discussion and give advisers a stronger starting point for the next stage.

If you’re buying or selling a business and need support with Heads of Terms, our Corporate team would be pleased to help.

Selling a business is rarely just about finding the right buyer. The smoother transactions are often the ones where the groundwork has been done early.

Ownership structures, contracts, governance and unresolved risks can all come under review during due diligence. If issues appear late in the process, they can slow momentum or make negotiations more difficult.

If you’re considering a sale, early legal insight can help you assess your position and prepare with more confidence.

A Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA) is one of those documents businesses often put off until there’s a problem.

It helps set out how decisions are made, who is responsible for what and what happens if circumstances change, giving both the business and its shareholders clearer protection from the start.

In this video, James explains why having one in place matters and how our Shareholders’ Agreement Builder makes the process simpler and more affordable.

A handshake deal can feel straightforward, especially when there’s trust on both sides. But if the details aren’t written down clearly, it can be much harder to manage things if expectations change, payment is delayed or there’s a disagreement later on.

Clear commercial agreements help both parties understand what’s been agreed, who is responsible for what and what happens if something doesn’t go to plan.

If your business is relying on informal arrangements, our commercial law team can help you put practical terms in place.
