Restructuring and Reorganisations

Reshaping business for a stronger future

Trustpilot

Restructuring and reorganisation are key steps for businesses looking to adapt, grow, or tackle challenges head-on. Whether you’re streamlining operations, unlocking shareholder value or preparing for future opportunities, restructuring ensures your business is set up for efficiency and success.

Businesses often need to restructure during pivotal moments—adapting to growth, tackling financial pressures or simplifying group structures. This might involve consolidating companies through hive ups or hive downs, separating business activities with a demerger or redistributing assets via a dividend in specie. Other options include share-for-share exchanges, share reclassifications, share subdivisions or a return of capital to shareholders.

At Mayo Wynne Baxter we provide straightforward, tailored advice that helps businesses like yours of all shapes and sizes achieve their goals.

Whether you’re a family-run business or a larger regional enterprise, restructuring can unlock new opportunities and provide a foundation for future growth. With our practical and hands-on approach, we’re here to guide you through every step, ensuring your business is ready to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Corporate reorganisations

Our expertise in corporate reorganisations can help businesses realign their group structure and simplify operations.

Our team ensures that changes are managed with care and in line with legal requirements, to help minimise associated legal risk to your business.
