Restructuring with purpose, precision, and protection
Our Services
Ensuring the transaction is executed without triggering unnecessary or unexpected tax charges is critical. We have extensive experience advising companies and shareholders on all forms of reconstructions and reorganisations, including demergers, incorporations, and group restructurings. Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of both commercial and tax considerations, ensuring that each transaction is structured to meet business objectives while optimising tax efficiency. We work closely with clients to understand their key commercial goals and design tailored solutions that deliver the best outcomes. Our team also collaborates with corporate lawyers to ensure seamless implementation, aligning the legal framework with the intended tax planning.
When structuring transactions, we focus on minimising exposure to unnecessary tax liabilities, including:
Reducing or eliminating dry tax charges
Ensuring tax is not payable where there are no corresponding cash proceeds.
Mitigating exposure to stamp taxes
Structuring transactions to avoid unnecessary costs.
Preserving existing tax planning
Ensuring that restructurings do not inadvertently crystallise degrouping charges or impact the qualifying conditions of share incentive arrangements.
