What is Business Restructuring and Reorganisation? 

There are a number of reasons a business might consider restructuring. These include:

• Tax advice – your accountant/tax advisor has suggested a better structure than needs putting in place
• Strategic planning – eg hiving up property to a holding company or ring fencing assets or company in a group structure
• Sale of part of a business – may lead to restructuring the business
• Staff restructuring – making redundancies or changing of terms and conditions
• Insolvency or downturn in business may require restructuring of the business to help the recovery.

Obviously, each restructuring project is bespoke and depends on the circumstances of the business in question. Our expert lawyers can help you through the process, working closely together with your accountancy and tax advisors, or insolvency practitioners, to create the best structure as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We’ll work to ensure that:

• We help set up any newco’ s required properly
• Articles of Association and Shareholders agreements are reviewed to make sure they don’t affect the proposal
• Assist your tax advisor in any HMRC Clearance if required
• Draft up all the documents required, such as:
  • Share for Share Transfer Agreements / Share Purchase Agreements
  • Statutory Demerger processes
  •  Resolutions for reductions in share capital
  • Asset / business transfer agreements
• We consider things like Goodwill, warranties, indemnities etc
• Your existing contracts are not affected
• Staff issues are properly dealt with to minimise grievances and employment tribunals
• plus much more

A business restructuring can be a complicated affair. Steven Mather Solicitor will make it as smooth and as easy as possible.

How much will it all cost?

Steven works with fixed fees, and for each job a bespoke proposal is given.

Company Law varies completely in cost, and could be something as little as a few hundred pounds, but typically work in this category would be £1,000-3,000 plus VAT.

However, I’d much rather you give me a call on 0116 3667900 and have a chat about your requirements and how Steven Mather might help.

Incidentally, we rarely price match other solicitors – simply because the lower priced ones don’t provide the same level of service (or any!). However, we will usually be cheaper than ‘proper’ commercial firms (eg those with glass fronted offices, ones in Legal 500, ones that have a ‘coffee menu’… you know the ones).
