Whatever the reason for changing your business structure, our legal experts will smooth the way.
All businesses consider restructuring at some point. Whether they want to streamline, prepare for sale, merger or de-merger, change their financial structure, refinance or saving costs. Sometimes this takes place under the pressures of changing economic conditions, poor performance or to make a business more tax efficient.
Restructuring involves a wide range of legal issues, requiring expert advice and action. These include dealing with refinancing, moving or acquiring assets, reducing outlays and renegotiating contracts. Our specialist restructuring lawyers will assess your current business model and offer advice on the best way forward to deliver the objectives your restructuring is aiming to achieve.
Many of our clients have been working us for years, and we pride ourselves on knowing their business, and their long-term objectives. Our corporate restructuring teams will ensure they understand all your long- and short-term goals to help you towards success in the most direct and cost-effective way.
