Corporate reorganisations

Our expert corporate law solicitors collaborate closely with business owners, accountants, and tax advisors to ensure businesses are structured efficiently.

Optimising a group structure can safeguard key assets, streamline or enhance a business before a sale process, and eliminate historic dormant companies. It can also be used to transfer assets that a buyer may not want outside the group prior to a sale.

We excel in advising on private business reorganisations, including owner-managed and multi-generational family businesses. With lawyers who have worked at PwC and KPMG, our team brings technical expertise and decades of experience in handling complex reorganisations.

FAQS

Questions answered

Not sure that this is the service for you? Take a look at some of our frequently asked questions for more information.

Group reorganisation typically refers to the transfer of assets, sometimes shares, from one company to another.

Reorganising and restructuring a company is often necessary to make a business more efficient or profitable. The need for a reorganisation is often triggered by a change in the business such as the need for succession planning, bringing in new shareholders or when a business is experiencing financial difficulties.

Whatever the situation, our expert corporate lawyers have the expertise to help and guide you through the process as efficiently as possible.

Group reorganisation usually involves adjusting the structure of a company, as well as making changes to the businesses operation, finances, etc.

Group reorganisation is a huge undertaking, which almost always involves changing a companies structure (how it works), and without expert assistance can cause many unforeseen problems.

Which is why it is vital that legal advice is sought before any major business changes.

Reorganising can result in increased value of a business, which is very important if owners are looking to sell.

Another reason is that this reorganisation can help to improve business performance or sales in the long term.

Our corporate team offer expert legal advice on schemes of arrangement, intra-group transfers, capital reductions, share buybacks and changes to share capital, and right issues.
