A CORPORATE lawyer has once again put together the definitive dealmakers' guide for UK law firms.

Robert Thompson, a partner in the corporate department at Ward Hadaway, has edited a new edition of Sinclair on Warranties and Indemnities on Share and Asset Sales.

The book is viewed by many as the lawyers’ dealmaking bible and is consulted by law firms across the country when advising clients on buying and selling businesses.

The latest edition of the guide – the eighth – is the third consecutive edition to be edited by Thompson.

The book also features expert contributions from other Ward Hadaway lawyers on areas including tax, pensions, property, employment, IT, data protection and insolvency.

Thompson said: “The fact that Ward Hadaway has been chosen for the third time to edit this guide demonstrates the high regard which the publishers have for the firm’s legal ability and expertise.

“We very much practise what we preach by ensuring our clients benefit from this substantial expertise when undertaking complex multi-million- pound deals and also in relation to smaller local deals since the expertise enables us to cut through to the essentials, thereby saving clients both valuable time and unnecessary expense.

“This is the main text that corporate lawyers use when they’re working on a deal – it’s the standard industry textbook.”
