Structuring change with tax in mind
Whether you're simplifying a group, separating business lines through a demerger, or preparing a business for investment, sale or succession, we treat tax as an integral part of the restructuring decision.
We assess the tax consequences of each available route, identify the reliefs that may apply and, where appropriate, prepare applications for advance clearance from HMRC.
Our tax lawyers work alongside our corporate restructuring team on the legal implementation, so structure, documentation and tax treatment are aligned from the outset.
Where a reorganisation involves shareholders, such as a share exchange or a change in ownership, we advise on the implications for individuals as well as the company.
The result is a restructuring that supports your commercial objectives and leaves the business well placed for its next stage.
