Did you see our first article in our Selling Your Business series?

Our first article explores exactly why the structure of a sale matters.

📌 Share sale or asset sale?
📌 What happens to existing liabilities?
📌 Why can tax treatment differ significantly?
📌 And why should the structure be considered before negotiations get too far?

As our Corporate & Commercial team explains: “Every business, and every exit, is different, and yours deserves advice built around it, not a template.”

Whether you're planning your exit, considering a sale or simply want to understand your options, our new series will cover some of the key legal and practical considerations along the way.

More articles in the series will be coming soon, covering other important issues business owners should consider when preparing to sell.

If you’re thinking about selling your business, our Corporate & Commercial team would be happy to discuss your plans and help you understand your options.

What a lovely day at The Wingate Centre in Wrenbury celebrating the grand opening of Wingate Holidays! 💙

Charlie and Isabelle were delighted to join the ribbon cutting with MP Aphra Brandreth and enjoy a fantastic tour with Natalie Leroux-Fleming, learning more about the centre’s incredible work supporting people with SEND.

We heard that around 70% of families with someone with a disability would like to go on holiday, but only around half of those families actually get the opportunity to do so.

The new holiday accommodation has been thoughtfully designed with accessibility at its heart, helping make holidays more inclusive and accessible for families who can often struggle to find suitable accommodation.

It was fantastic to see the vision for Wingate Holidays come to life and to learn more about the positive impact it will have on families and communities.

A huge thank you to Ian Linton, Frances Brown and Rhiannon Vine for inviting us and showing us around. And, of course, no event is complete without tea and cake! ☕🍰

Sometimes, being a solicitor is about so much more than simply dealing with the legal work in front of you. It’s about listening, understanding someone’s circumstances and, when others have said “no”, being willing to find a way to help.

We recently had the privilege of supporting a family client whose case had been turned away by other solicitors because, in their words, she “had nothing in her name.”

We didn’t believe that should be the end of the story.

Our team took the time to understand her situation; provide the support she needed and help her through the process. Today, she has a mortgage-free home in her own name and, more importantly, the opportunity to start the next chapter of her life with security and peace of mind. 🏡✨

The beautiful flowers and chocolates she gave us were such a thoughtful gesture, but hearing how grateful she was to have been supported through such an important moment in her life meant even more to our team.

We’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in her journey and to have helped turn what once felt like a closed door into a new beginning.

🚀 NEW SERIES: Selling Your Business

Thinking about selling your business? Before you start thinking about a buyer, a price or a completion date, there’s a more fundamental question to consider:

How are you actually going to sell it?

There’s no “one size fits all” approach.

A business sale can take very different legal forms - most commonly a share sale or an asset sale - and the route you choose can have significant implications for tax, liabilities, contracts, employees, warranties and what happens after completion.

Our first article in our new Selling Your Business series explores exactly why the structure of a sale matters.

📌 Share sale or asset sale?
📌 What happens to existing liabilities?
📌 Why can tax treatment differ significantly?
📌 And why should the structure be considered before negotiations get too far?

As our Corporate & Commercial team explains:

“Every business, and every exit, is different, and yours deserves advice built around it, not a template.”

Whether you're planning your exit, considering a sale or simply want to understand your options, our new series will cover some of the key legal and practical considerations along the way.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.🎗️

To mark the month, we’ve been hiding Stafford Rocks featuring a Gold Ribbon 🎗️ around Stafford to raise awareness for Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance. An incredible local charity that supports families after a childhood cancer diagnosis.

👀 Keep your eyes peeled while you’re out and about. Some of our rocks have already made their way to Wales!

🔎 Find a Stafford Rock with a Gold Ribbon?
📸 Take a photo
🪨 Share your find in the Stafford Rocks Facebook Group
📍 Tell us where you found it
👋 Tag your friends and get them involved too!

And remember, you can create your own Stafford Rocks too!
🎨 Paint a rock, add a gold ribbon or a message of support, hide it somewhere for someone else to discover and share it with the group.

Every gold ribbon is a reminder of the children and families facing childhood cancer - and every rock is an opportunity to spread kindness, awareness and community spirit. 💛

So, let’s get Stafford painting, hiding, finding and sharing throughout September! Join the Stafford Rocks group and help us raise awareness.

How many Gold Ribbon Stafford Rocks can we find? 🪨💛🔎

What a great day at the Eccleshall Road Cemetery Open Day in Stafford!

Charlie and Dawid were delighted to join Friends of Stafford Cemeteries for the event, meeting people, hearing interesting stories and having some fascinating conversations about the cemetery and its history.

They even joined everyone on the second guided tour of the day, which was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the cemetery, the people buried there and its place in Stafford’s history.

We also met the fantastic Their Last Adventure who had two very unique hearse on display - a converted mini and a golf buggy!

It was also a great opportunity to talk about something we don’t always think about until we need it - planning for the future.

Throughout the day, Charlie and Dawid enjoyed sharing knowledge about Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, probate and being an executor of an estate, including some of the practical aspects that people often don’t realise they need to consider.

From what happens when someone dies, to who can make decisions if you’re no longer able to make them yourself, there are lots of important things that can be easier to deal with when they’ve been thought about in advance.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat and to Friends of Stafford Cemeteries for putting together such an interesting and informative event.

It was lovely to be part of it and to see so much interest in both the history of the cemetery and planning for the future. We are already looking forward to the next one!

🍫 Our clients really do know the way to our hearts!

Charlie and Adam received a very thoughtful thank you gift this week from a couple they had recently helped with their Wills. Charlie assisted the couple with putting their Wills in place, while Adam helped with the identification checks involved in the process.

And we must confess … there were two boxes of chocolates. In true Nowell Meller fashion, one had already made its way to the staff kitchen before we could take the photo!

It’s always lovely to receive such thoughtful feedback from our clients, and we’re delighted to have helped them put their affairs in order and gain peace of mind for the future.

💡 Haven’t made a Will yet? Don’t put it off. Our Wills team can help you make sure your wishes are clearly set out, and your loved ones are looked after.
