Case histories

Here are some of the areas in which we are currently helping our clients:

Legal Entity Structure Review
Large and medium sized businesses often have a group structure comprising many subsidiaries. The structure may have arisen through acquisition or other historic reasons, but may not be the best for the current business. Keeping subsidiaries alive can be costly in both manament time and administrative expense. We can carry out a complete review of your legal entity structure, make rgeecommendations for rationalisation and implement a restructuring plan.

Statutory Audit
We can carry out a complete review of statutory records, verify the current status of records at Companies House and file any outstanding items to bring the record fully up to date. We can then transfer records to our electronic database for regular maintenance and punctual filing in the future.

Effective Corporate Governance
Corporate governance has become increasingly important with the publication of Cadbury, Hempel and most recently the Turnbull report. Whether you are a plc or a private limited company, an optimal governance structure can help ensure the efficient running of your board and provide the structure for an effective decision making process within the business. We advise on corporate governance and can help you implement the structure that is right for your business.

Transaction Support
The importance of good organisation, planning and control of transactions cannot be overestimated. We produce and control the documentation for complex and routine transactions of all kinds, including group reorganisations, capital restructuring, mergers, acquisitions and disposals.

Capital Structure
We advise on optimal capital structures and draft the resolutions and related documentation for debt and equity structures, such as ordinary shares, shares with class rights, foreign currency denominated shares, preference shares and subordinated, senior, junior and mezzanine debt.
