Demergers of business streams prior to a sale, post-acquisition integration, fiscal restructuring to optimise the group tax position, share buy-backs to allow a shareholder to exit, or the disposal of dormant or excess companies all need expert legal advice to effect a corporate reorganisation that meets the goals of the business.
Our corporate team has considerable experience of guiding clients through the legal issues arising as part of a corporate reorganisation. We work with our clients and our tax colleagues - or with our clients’ external tax advisers - to agree a structured plan for the reorganisation which aims to achieve the strategic goals and optimise both the tax and legal outcomes of the reorganisation while minimising your risk.
Corporate reorganisation projects demand thorough, carefully considered planning followed by disciplined and well-managed implementation. We apply a detailed project management approach to each reorganisation project.
We also work closely with other specialist teams across the firm - typically our commercial, IP/IT and employment colleagues - to help deliver the reorganisation. We also have experience of co-ordinating multi-jurisdictional corporate reorganisation projects.
