Nigel specialises in mergers and acquisitions including MBOs and MBIs, buying and selling businesses, commercial agreements, franchise agreements, insolvency, company restructuring and advice on contracts.
His clients describe him as “friendly and helpful” “giving sensible and well thought through advice”, “which helped us at a time when we needed some outside input to help us move forward”.
Nigel’s most memorable transaction involved a company supplying security personnel to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of conflict. Dealing with SAS trained people raised some interesting challenges including the nature of the business itself.
Nigel read Psychology and Politics in South Africa. He went on to qualify as a solicitor in 1995 and initially practiced as a prosecutor before moving into private practice where he specialised in commercial work. He then moved into the business recovery and restructuring department at Pricewaterhouse Coopers broadening his understanding further of the problems and challenges a business faces.
