Vida McShane

A solicitor in the corporate legal team, Vida McShane has extensive specialist corporate law experience. Working closely with entrepreneurial businesses, she understands the many challenges that business owners face and their need for pragmatic, reasoned advice.

Vida also focuses on helping clients with their transition to an employee ownership trust (EOT). From establishing the trust to acting on the sale, she also prepares all the necessary corporate law documents, such as the share purchase agreement and articles of association for the target company and for the trustee company. Vida’s in-depth knowledge and client-focused approach ensures a successful move to the new employee-owned structure.

Additionally, Vida’s expertise includes advising on mergers and acquisitions, management buy-outs, corporate restructures, arrangements involving an exiting director or shareholder and other areas of UK company law. She also acts for LLPs in such matters as bespoke and complex LLP agreements and arrangements relating to the appointment or exit of LLP members.

As well as SMEs, Vida acts for overseas-headquartered clients with a presence in the UK. This might involve reorganisations for groups of companies with presence in more than one jurisdiction, establishing a joint venture in the UK or coordinating different UK elements of an international company’s transactions.

Clients value Vida’s proactive, commercial approach and her calm personable nature. She simplifies the legal process and explains complex legal terms in plain English.

Vida regularly attends Employee Ownership Association events and is a member of the Association of Women Solicitors London.
