Restructuring Your Business

Businesses restructure for many reasons - growth, refinancing, investment, succession planning or financial pressure.

In practice, that often involves changing how the business is funded, owned or operated, including:

• restructuring debt or refinancing arrangements

• changing ownership (including share buybacks or new investment)

• reorganising group structures or assets

• restructuring staff, roles or operations

The challenge is not just identifying what needs to change, but implementing it in a way that is legally robust, commercially workable and aligned with your objectives.

We advise companies, directors and shareholders on corporate restructurings of all types, helping you:

• clarify your objectives and options early

• structure the right solution

• implement it efficiently and cost-effectively

Common Types of Restructuring

While every situation is different, most restructurings involve a combination of debt restructuring or refinancing, ownership changes, group and structural changes, asset restructuring and/or staff restructuring. Find out more about each in our more detailed guide.

These elements are often interconnected and need to be managed together.

Legal Work which may be needed
