Advanced Business Restructuring and Corporate Transactions
As a business evolves, transactional events necessitate strategic changes to the internal and external structure. Our Structure Advisory Services manage these complex corporate transactions.
- Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Advisory on the most tax-efficient structure for buyer side or seller side corporate transactions, including structuring the share swap ratio, asset purchase vs. share purchase, and regulatory approvals.
- Demergers & Spin-offs: Strategic guidance on separating non-core or specific lines of business into a new entity, ensuring all assets and liabilities are transferred in a tax-neutral manner. This is a complex transactional step.
- Internal Reorganization: Implementing changes in the capital base (e.g., bonus issue, rights issue, share reduction) or management structure to align with current business goals and investor demands.
- Conversion of Entity: Managing the legal and transactional process of converting an LLP to a Company, or a Private Company to a Public Company, or vice versa, based on scalability needs.
