Business Restructuring/Exit Planning

We advise businesses on organizational strategies to restructure their companies in order to generate new revenue, more liquidity, new funding and/or prepare for founders’ exit and succession. Based on their business objectives, we provide counsel on corporate, financial, employment, U.S. tax and intellectual property issues.

Sometimes, a number of strategies may have to be utilized in order accomplish a client’s goals, particularly when a foreign company decides to do an inversion and change its corporate domicile to another taxing jurisdiction. We are experienced in planning, structuring and documenting the U.S. transactions necessary to complete this type of restructuring. We collaborate with foreign law firms as well as other professionals.

This practice is closely aligned with our practices in Joint Ventures, Cross-Border Transactions and Mergers and Acquisitions. Client support may include advice on the following:

Inversions, Flips, Rollups, Platforms, Consolidations

• Converting foreign corporations into subsidiaries of new U.S. corporations in order to gain access to U.S. funding sources and strategic partners
• Creation of new international holding companies and putting existing operating companies under a single global unaffiliated umbrella for global brands and efficiencies in supply chains and enterprise administration
• Establishing a platform company for self-rollup of regional business entities under a new global brand
