Rouse Lawyers acted for us in the sale of our software business, Precision Mining, to Micromine, a global mining software company.

We highly recommend Rouse Lawyers not only for their M&A expertise but also generally for growing SME’s in the technology space.”

I have tried several of the larger law firms at the big end of town but found their services to be quite bland and predictable.

I instructed Rouse Lawyers to assist me with the sale of a business I had founded and operated for 20 years. It was important for me to be advised in relation to all facets of the deal including a thorough explanation of the commercial terms, providing advice on our structure via liaising with our accountant and, also, preparation of a lease given we were the landlord of the premises where the purchaser of our business would become our tenant.
As can be the case with transactions of this type there were twists and turns during which Rouse remained patient with me but also commercial in considering offers from other parties. In the past when I sold another business a different lawyer became too bogged down with the drafting of the contracts in lieu of the commercial terms and I was determined not to repeat this outcome.”
