Corporate Restructuring

When you restructure your business, you will need to make sure that the supporting documents are clear and robust.  It is important to ensure that your restructure is in the best interests of your company, its shareholders, creditors and stakeholders and that you have received comprehensive advice about the implications of the proposed changes.

It is important to take the right steps when considering a corporate restructuring, particularly if your business has been under pressure.  Our Corporate Team can discuss the options open to you as well as any related issues such as employment liabilities.
