Company restructuring and corporate structuring
We review and redesign how your companies fit together — holding, trading and investment entities, who owns them and how they are governed — so the structure supports the way your business actually operates across the UK, Switzerland and the UAE.
Situations we typically help with
- A business that has grown country by country and now has entities that no longer reflect how it operates.
- Founders who want to separate trading activity from holding and investment assets.
- Groups adding a UK, Swiss or UAE entity and needing to decide where it sits.
- Changes in shareholders, partners or family ownership that call for clearer governance.
What we look at
- Group architecture: holding, trading and investment layers and the role of each company.
- Ownership: shareholdings, people with significant control and how ownership may change over time.
- Governance: boards, decision-making, intra-group agreements and record keeping.
- Cross-border operations: how activity, people and contracts flow between jurisdictions.
Our advisory scope
This is a consulting and coordination service for solvent, operating businesses. We do not act in insolvency, administration or debt-rescue processes, and we do not hold ourselves out as providing regulated legal or other authorised professional services.
Where a step requires a specialist — for example a local lawyer or a regulated adviser in a given jurisdiction — we identify it, explain why, and coordinate with professionals in our international network or with your own advisers.
Review, design, implementation
- 01
Review
We map your current entities, ownership and governance and identify what no longer fits your operations or plans.
- 02
Design
We propose a target structure, explain the trade-offs between options and agree a sequence of steps with you.
- 03
Implementation
We coordinate the agreed steps — new entities, transfers, governance documents — with the relevant specialists.
- 04
Ongoing alignment
We revisit the structure as the business changes, so it keeps supporting the way you operate.
Common questions
Is this the same as restructuring a company in financial difficulty?
+
No. Our work concerns the design of ownership and group structures for operating businesses. We do not handle insolvency, administration or debt restructuring.
Which jurisdictions do you cover?
+
Our focus is the UK, Switzerland and the UAE. Through our international network present in 25+ countries we can coordinate with member firms elsewhere.
Do we need a holding company?
+
Not always. Whether a holding layer helps depends on your activity, ownership and plans. We explain the options and their consequences before you decide.
Can you implement the changes?
+
We coordinate implementation. Steps that require a specialist, such as legal drafting or regulated advice, are carried out by appropriately qualified professionals we work with or by your own advisers.
How do we start?
+
Send us a short description of your current companies and what you want to change. We will arrange an initial conversation to understand the situation.
