Minal Patel

Solicitor


Why choose me

As a corporate lawyer, I buy and sell businesses ranging from small family-owned companies to large organisations.

I chose to specialise in corporate law as it gives me the opportunity to work closely with businesses, helping them to navigate governance and legal frameworks while contributing to their long-term growth and success.

As a lawyer, I’m deal driven and pride myself on going the extra mile to deliver successful mergers and acquisitions for clients. I also advise on other corporate matters including management buyouts, corporate restructures and corporate governance such as shareholder agreements and articles of association.

My clients include e-commerce businesses, care homes, estate agencies, telecommunications companies, and retail and marketing organisations.

When I’m not working, I enjoy travelling and cinematography. I’m also a keen sports fan and particularly enjoy watching cricket and F1.

Questions my clients ask me

A share purchase involves a buyer purchasing shares in a company (the shares change ownership) and the buyer acquires all the assets and liabilities of the company that it is purchasing. Whereas with an asset purchase, a buyer can ‘cherry-pick’ the assets and liabilities it wishes to purchase (which means that unwanted liabilities and certain risks can be excluded from the transaction).

A warranty is a contractually binding statement made by the seller in relation to the company or business it is selling. An indemnity is a promise made by the seller to reimburse the buyer for a specific liability, if the need arises. A breach of warranty will only give rise to a claim if the buyer is able to show that the warranty was untrue or inaccurate, the seller did not make a disclosure in the disclosure letter and, because of the breach, it has suffered a loss. There are usually time limits and financial caps in relation to bringing warranty claims in a contract. However, an indemnity, acts as an obligation to reimburse the buyer upon a specific circumstance occurring, so there is no obligation on the buyer to show that a breach has arisen nor that it has suffered a loss.
