Businesses seldom stand still.

Dynamic businesses constantly evolve and adapt to the commercial pressure and opportunities that they face. Sometimes this will involve the creation of a new trading division or subsidiary, a reorganisation of the ownership structure to bring it into line with the management structure of the business or a refinancing of debt.

Whatever form the restructuring takes we have the skills and experience to advise you on the commercial, real estate, employment and tax implications of the changes that you wish to make. We will help you chose the right structure and manage the change process.

We carry out reorganisation, refinancing and restructuring work on behalf of a broad range of corporate clients, from owner managed businesses to fully listed PLC's.

We work closely with our colleagues in the Business Tax team and with our client's own tax advisers to identify and implement tax efficient structures.

In some cases, the refinancing arrangements require the transfer or grant of security over freehold and/or leasehold property. In those cases, we work closely with colleagues in our Real Estate team.

Some of our restructuring projects have involved intra-group transfer of businesses and assets. There are quite often TUPE considerations to be taken into account and we work closely with our colleagues in the Employment team to ensure that the regulations are complied with.
