The right corporate structure is invaluable to a business, which is why our cross-departmental team can deliver the full range of restructurings and reorganisations for both UK and cross border organisations.
Planning, design and implementation of a reorganisation not only ensures that assets and vehicles end up exactly where they are needed but makes sure everything is done in the most advantageous and efficient manner. The reasons for reorganisations and restructurings are many and varied, but typically can include tax planning (either as a result of litigation or simply for greater tax efficiency), changes to or the tidying up of an existing corporate structure (for example, from LLP to limited company or vice versa), or as a precursor to an acquisition or a sale.
Given their complexity, reorganisations call for experienced lawyers, who understand a client’s objectives and know the best route to achieve them from a commercial, practical, legal and tax perspective.
To this end we combine tax structuring and legal expertise for seamless, integrated results. We also work closely with tax advisers who may have the expertise to structure the reorganisation from a tax perspective but require our expertise to advise on all legal aspects and to document and implement the reorganisation.
