Group restructuring
Group restructuring legal advice
When a business reaches various stages of development it may be advisable, based on legal and tax advice, to restructure, whether by reorganising a company’s share capital and/or reorganising an existing group structure. Depending on the extent of the proposed restructuring, this process can be very complex from a legal and tax position. Our partner-led team will work with you to assist in smoothing and clarifying the process, enabling you to concentrate on running your business.
A restructuring can be undertaken for many purposes; as a ‘spring clean’ in advance of a proposed flotation or sale, to ‘release’ a dividend stream blocked by an intermediate holding company with liabilities, to reflect changes in how the business has evolved or to return capital to shareholders. Change can be a traumatic time for business and we can assist to minimise the impact of the process.
