Business & Corporate Law

Business restructuring means a change in legal ownership that has implications throughout the business, impacting on activities such as pensions, tax and intellectual property.

Business reorganisation is sometimes necessary to enable shareholders to retire or to bring in new parties. Unfortunately, the most direct route can often lead to a higher tax bill. Care is needed, therefore, to plan a structure which minimises the tax payable, whilst ensuring that the proper balance of power within a business is maintained.
