Corporate restructuring
Assistance in corporate transformation transactions, spin-offs, mergers, global assignments and preventive or crisis-driven restructuring processes. Structures that enable business reorganisation with legal certainty and operational efficiency.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Business situation diagnosis
We analyse the corporate structure, relationships between group entities and the economic and financial position to identify the inefficiencies, risks and opportunities in the restructuring.
Restructuring transaction design
We design the most appropriate legal structure for the restructuring — merger, spin-off, global assignment, conversion or others — taking into account operational, tax and efficiency criteria.
Documentation and approvals
We prepare all necessary documentation — merger or spin-off plans, directors' reports, shareholders' meeting resolutions — and manage approvals before the company's bodies and registries.
Execution and registry registration
We execute the transaction before the notary and registrars, coordinating publication timelines, creditor objection periods and any subsequent steps needed to complete the restructuring.
Who this is for
Business groups optimising their corporate structure, family businesses preparing an orderly business succession, and companies under financial stress needing to reorganise their structure to preserve business viability.
