Restructuring/Reorganisation

“We need to restructure the company’s share capital or reorganise the group”

We have considerable experience in corporate restructurings, including:

• changes to the rights attaching to shares or creating new share classes
• the buy-back by a company of its own shares or reduction of its share capital
• creating new subsidiaries
• hive-downs/hive-ups and the intra-group asset transfers
• other corporate re-organisations and schemes of arrangement
• dissolving/striking off dormant or unwanted subsidiaries
• re-registration of public companies as private (and vice versa)
• winding up and liquidation

Other corporate transactions

Some of our Team have extensive “City” experience, having previously worked at some of the largest law firms in the City of London, Hong Kong and Australia. Accordingly, their experience extends beyond the typical local transaction and extends to more specialised corporate clients and transactions, including:

• admission of shares to trading on AIM and full listings on the London Stock Exchange
• vendor placings
• rights issues for PLCs and larger corporates
• schemes of arrangement under the Companies Act and Insolvency Act

If you would like to discuss these or any other type of corporate transaction, please contact us.
