Franchise Territory Earn-Out Mechanics: How Deferred Consideration Works

/

A franchise territory earn-out is deferred consideration paid after completion, conditional on agreed performance targets. This guide covers performance metrics (revenue, EBITDA, client retention, recurring income), non-interference covenants (fee integrity, service standard, client offboarding, entity consolidation ring-fencing), BADR treatment under Marren v Ingles, dispute resolution mechanisms, and what good earn-out terms look like.

Estate & Lettings Industry

The Role of a Solicitor When Selling an Estate or Letting Agency

/

Estate and letting agency sales require specialist legal representation — not a generalist commercial solicitor. Management agreement assignments, AMFI earn-out mechanics, TUPE compliance, and CMP/compliance warranties are all sector-specific. This depth guide covers why the specialism matters, what your solicitor does at each stage from heads of terms to post-completion, how to choose one, and the common mistakes that cost sellers money.

Dental Industry

The Role of a Solicitor When Selling a Dental Practice

/

A specialist dental solicitor handles three regulatory processes no general commercial solicitor understands: NHS contract novation (ICB application, four to eight weeks), CQC registration (twelve to twenty-four weeks, buyer applies during DD), and associate employment status risk (the most common post-completion warranty claim source). This depth guide covers NHS novation mechanics and interim period risk allocation, the CQC critical path, SPA dental provisions (NHS contract warranties, performer obligations, disclosure letter requirements, non-compete scope), TUPE for clinical and administrative staff, and why you must instruct before heads of terms — not after.
