There are several reasons why a business may choose to restructure:

• To simplify a group structure and utilise a more flexible and efficient ownership model
• To allow a distribution of assets
• To enable succession planning and future protection from a legal and tax perspective
• If the business is in financial difficulty

No matter the reason, a restructure can have a significant impact on other areas of the business and, if not handled correctly, could result in breaches of its legal, contractual or regulatory obligations.

Our corporate team will take time to understand your business and your commercial objectives in order to best guide you through the strategic steps involved.

We will advise you on the advantages and any potential risks of your proposals and explain the best options for your business.

Any restructuring is likely to involve a number of potential parties. We will work with you, your accountants, tax advisers and bank, as necessary to ensure that the restructuring runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible, whilst ensuring it is handled sensitively, on time and on budget.
