Corporate Group Formations and Reorganisations

Companies sometimes need to be reorganised due to financial, asset management or liability reasons - or because of a merger and acquisition. In these situations, it’s vital to make sure it’s done in a legally robust manner, ensuring all legal guidelines and legislation are followed correctly.

At Crombie Wilkinson, our solicitors understand the processes inside and out, and will work tirelessly to give your company the support that it deserves.

Corporate Reorganisation

Corporate reorganisation involves a lot of moving parts, each needing its due consideration. Remember, the size and complexity of operations and vision greatly impacts the reorganisation process, so it’s important to get counsel for your unique circumstances.

Here’s where the company law team at Crombie Wilkinson can support you:

Company Law Compliance

You may need Director - and in some cases shareholder - approval for major changes. Failure to comply with the relevant company law provisions could risk personal liability. Our solicitors understand these intricacies and can guide you through the process quickly and efficiently.

Tax Considerations

We understand the tax implications of a reorganisation, from capital gains tax and stamp duty to income and dividends. We can also investigate stamp duty tax reliefs, ensuring your companies receives their due benefits.

Regulatory Compliance

If your company is in a regulated sector like health or education, we can ensure approval from the appropriate regulating authority.

Intellectual Property (IP)

We understand the IP rights process, and how to transfer intellectual property between group companies, ensuring all ownership is properly documented.

Data Protection and GDPR

We will also ensure that any personal data transfer follows the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018.
