How Company Restructuring Works: The Legal Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The process begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our UK solicitors. We take the time to understand your business, your goals, and any challenges you are facing. This allows us to provide practical legal advice tailored to your specific situation. We will review your company’s current structure, financial position, and any relevant documents.
Identifying Options and Risks
Our specialist solicitors will outline the possible restructuring options, such as share capital changes, asset transfers, debt restructuring, management buyouts, or group reorganisations. We explain the legal implications, potential risks, and benefits of each route, ensuring you have the information needed to make informed decisions.
Developing a Restructuring Plan
Once the preferred strategy is agreed, The Law Firm Group will develop a clear plan, setting out each stage of the restructuring process. This may involve drafting and reviewing contracts, negotiating with creditors or investors, preparing board or shareholder resolutions, and liaising with accountants, tax advisers, or insolvency practitioners as required.
Implementing the Changes
Our solicitors ensure all legal requirements are met, from Companies House filings to regulatory approvals and stakeholder communications. We manage the process efficiently to minimise disruption and ensure a smooth transition. Throughout, you will have access to expert legal advice and regular updates on progress.
Ongoing Support and Post-Restructuring Advice
After the restructuring is complete, The Law Firm Group remains on hand to address any follow-up queries, assist with further legal services, and provide ongoing support for your business’s future needs.
