About Acquisition Counsel
A legal consultancy built for ecommerce acquisitions
We support buyers through the legal work required to investigate, document, negotiate and complete the purchase of an online business.
Discuss Your AcquisitionOur Focus
Not general corporate advice. Buyer-side acquisition support.
Agreeing a price is only the beginning. A buyer still needs to verify ownership, contracts, intellectual property, data practices, platform dependencies and liabilities before taking control.
Our service is organised around that work, from understanding exactly what is being acquired to making sure the purchase agreement and closing reflect the commercial deal.
