Sale of dental practice
Parmjit advised me on the sale of my dental practice.
The process was very convoluted and can test the patience of even the Dalai Lama. However, throughout the entire process I was always impressed with Parmjit’s professionalism.
He worked tirelessly to keep matters on track and has an incredible ability to notice small details.
He was available at a convenient time for me; especially around my clinics which allowed for detailed discussions to take place over the phone and face to face when needed.
He interacted speedily with all the other parties involved and would regularly keep me appraised of developments. He gave me sound advice when needed including going against the grain if it was in my interests.
In summary, I don’t think there is another lawyer I would chose if I had to do the process again and can whole heartedly recommend Parmjit to help with all matters related to Dental Practice Sales.”

Sale of property holding company
We were looking for a company solicitor to handle our company sale and out of 3 tenders, Wellers came out in the middle on price, and we chose them for their central London position.
From the start of the sale, Parmjit Bhogal handled the sale for us and did an excellent job. The buyers were quite tricky from time to time, but he handled them expertly and managed to bring the deal to a successful conclusion.
Bravo Parmjit and thank you for your unstinting guidance and help.”

Shareholders’ agreement
A shareholders agreement is a document detailing an agreement of terms amongst the shareholders of the company. It governs the business relationship between the company and each shareholder and can be used to put restrictions on the way shareholders can dispose of and otherwise deal with their shares and protect minority shareholders’ interests. Without an agreement in place, the company itself can be at risk or expensive litigation may become necessary. We have extensive experience in advising on and preparing shareholders’ agreements tailored to specific requirements.
Company secretarial
We provide a full range of company secretarial services which include preparing notices of board and shareholder meetings, minutes of such meetings and written shareholder resolutions, filing forms at Companies House, keeping company books up to date and preparing and filing annual returns at Companies House.
