Group Restructuring

At a certain stage of development, it may be beneficial for a business, after receiving appropriate legal and tax advice,  to restructure by reorganising its share capital or its existing group structure in one of the following situations:

• Prior to a proposed acquisition or disposal
• Following the acquisition or sale of part of a business
• To increase business efficiency or ensure that the corporate structure of the group better reflects the actual operational structure of a business

This process can be complex from both a legal and tax perspective.  We will work closely with your third party tax and financial advisors to ensure that you are given the best advice on how to reorganise your business effectively, and therefore minimise its impact on the day to day running of your business.

We can assist with all types of restructuring and reorganisation including:

• Finance and security arrangements
• Reorganising share capital and distributions
• Company law issues (in particular transfers at an undervalue)
• Directors' duties
• Employee issues
• Regulatory requirements
• Major commercial contracts
• Intellectual property issues
• Insolvency issues
• Property issues

If you are planning to restructure your business, we can help you facilitate the process through practical, commercial advice. 

We are friendly and practical lawyers who can provide you with solid commercial advice but don’t just take our word for it! Take a moment to read what our clients and fellow professionals say about us.
