We help you reshape your corporate structure so it supports the way your business now operates.
Over time, groups can become complex, layered or out of step with commercial reality. A measured reorganisation can improve efficiency, reduce risk and prepare you for the next stage of growth – whether that is investment, succession, sale or a major transaction – and for that, you may need the help of restructuring and insolvency lawyers.
If you are considering external investment, planning internal succession, integrating after an acquisition or reviewing your tax position, we guide you through the options and help you decide what to do next. Our experience spans capital reduction demergers, intra-group transfers, share-for-share exchanges and the use of special purpose vehicles (SPVs), particularly for real estate and tax-driven structures.
We act for privately owned businesses, family offices, international groups and high-growth companies looking to streamline their structures or prepare for change. Whatever the driver, our focus is on clarity, compliance and a smooth transition with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
From initial review through to implementation, we bring together corporate, tax, finance, employment and real estate input so that decisions are robust across the whole business. You get practical advice on what to change, why it matters and how to implement it in a way that works operationally as well as on paper.
Our Services
We advise on the full lifecycle of corporate reorganisations. If you are weighing up structural changes or planning a staged programme of work, we will talk you through the practical, legal and tax considerations so you can move forward with confidence.
We regularly assist with:
- Group reorganisations and demergers
- Intra-group transfers and capital reduction demergers
- Share-for-share exchanges
- Establishing and using SPVs for real estate and tax-focused structures
- Simplifying ownership ahead of a sale or for clearer governance
- Preparing for investment or internal succession
We work closely with your tax advisers and accountants to keep the process aligned across all disciplines. This joined-up approach helps anticipate issues early, avoids unnecessary duplication and keeps projects moving at a sensible pace.
Where you are at an early stage, we can carry out a high-level structural review to identify potential pressure points, such as historic arrangements, legacy entities or mismatches between ownership and control. From there, we help you prioritise steps and design a sequence of changes that is practical to implement.
Clear, Practical Advice
If you are about to review your structure, we help you assess what needs to change and why. As restructuring lawyers, we take the time to understand your commercial priorities - whether that is reducing complexity, managing risk, preparing for sale or supporting investment - and then set out the most practical route to achieve them.
Our support includes:
- Drafting and reviewing the required documentation
- Managing Companies House filings and ensuring compliance
- Working with accountants on HMRC clearances
- Handling cross-border elements where overseas entities are involved
- Overseeing the process from initial planning through to implementation
We also identify potential impacts on employment, contracts or intellectual property, helping you address these points before they slow the project.
Who We Work With
We act for:
- Privately owned businesses and family offices
- UK branches of international groups
- Real estate investors and property holding companies
- High-growth companies preparing for investment
- Professional advisers managing restructuring projects for clients
- Businesses planning internal succession
As corporate insolvency solicitors, we support boards in understanding their options, engaging with stakeholders and taking timely, informed decisions. Our focus is on practical routes through difficult situations, with clear explanations of risk and responsibility.
A Joined-Up Service
Restructuring affects more than the corporate framework. Our team works closely with colleagues in corporate, tax, finance, employment and real estate so your decisions hold up across the whole business. By coordinating the work from the outset, we help you implement changes efficiently and with minimal disruption.
If you are reviewing your structure or planning a reorganisation, we can guide you through the steps and help you move from assessment to action with clarity and confidence.
Meet the Team
Our restructuring team brings longstanding experience in corporate reorganisations, capital reduction demergers, SPV structuring and investment-related restructuring. Helen Curtis, Prasan Modasia and Chantelle Adadevoh are your key contacts for this work.
They regularly advise on multi-entity groups, real-estate-heavy structures and projects where tax, governance and regulatory considerations all play a part. Their work includes simplifying historic structures, designing new investment platforms and supporting businesses through change driven by succession, investment or strategic refocus.
Helen leads on complex group reorganisations and capital projects, bringing a measured, commercial approach to planning and implementation. Prasan has particular experience in transactions with a capital markets or cross-border element, ensuring structures work both in the UK and internationally. Chantelle focuses on growth businesses and investment-driven restructuring, helping clients align corporate structures with their long-term plans.
Across the team, you will find a consistent approach: clear explanations, practical options and close coordination with your other advisers. Our aim is to give you confidence in the restructuring process, from first conversation through to the final step in the implementation plan.
