About us
A group may decide to restructure for many reasons. Preparing for an IPO, sale, demerger or other similar event. Responding to changes – whether in regulation, the economic environment or other things. Strategic moves like changing the group’s business model, or streamlining operations to reduce costs and admin. And many more. Whatever the motives for a Corporate restructure, they are complex and important projects. A group’s structure is absolutely fundamental – it defines its component parts, how they relate to each other, and how they interact with the outside world. So any restructure carries risks. If the legal aspects are not planned and implemented correctly, many different problems can occur, such as: - Breach of regulatory approvals, potentially stopping the group from conducting business - Tax fines, penalties, adverse assessments and double (or multiple) taxation of the same underlying profits, as well as time-consuming and costly tax investigations - Pensions liabilities being triggered, which can incur costs far in excess of the values of the underlying assets - Loss of assets when removing legal entities - Personal liability risks for directors of participating legal entities - Failure to achieve the optimum valuation on corporate finance transactions, if prospective purchasers or investors apply a discount due to legal, transfer pricing or other tax risks The key to success is following the correct process.
