Implementing new corporate structures for businesses

Rix & Kay’s corporate lawyers have an established track record of implementing new corporate structures for businesses that are looking to improve business performance and operations as an alternative to conventional merger and acquisition activity.

The team also have extensive experience of supporting clients who are considering wider reaching business reorganisations.

Our corporate lawyers extend across Sussex, Kent, Surrey and London, working collaboratively with tax and other advisors to identify the most appropriate corporate structure for a business to adopt, to ensure it can operate efficiently and is best placed to remain sustainable and deliver growth.

We work with the owners of businesses to establish all the options available based on a full appreciation of the commercial objectives of a business and taking account of any relevant regulatory and tax framework.

We are focused on finding solutions which best meet our client’s strategic objectives and delivering on a timely basis. Our clients range from limited companies (predominantly SME and Mid Market), companies limited by guarantee, unlimited companies and community interest companies to LLPs, LPs and partnerships. We build teams to support clients and involve colleagues from real estate, employment and private client where this compliments the efforts of the corporate team and the needs of clients.

Partnerships and LLPs

We also collaborate with our employment team to offer Partnerships and LLPs (or individuals belonging to partnerships and LLPs) advice around contentious and non-contentious issues. We have established a strong track record of advising professional service businesses on full merger and acquisition.

We have particular expertise in supporting professional service businesses including accountants, dentists and GPs, financial services, lawyers and solicitors, medical, and property surveyors who wish to convert to an LLP status.

“Providing an invaluable service, the team is regarded for its specialist commercial advice as well as its deal making capacity. Kathryn Paisley, helms the practice, regularly advising clients on transactional issues and working closely with the Eurojuris network of international lawyers. Alan Zeal is also regarded for his experience in high value deals, as well as corporate restructuring, incentive arrangements, and director/employee equity agreements”.

“Kathryn Paisley is exceptional – she is expert, experienced and builds trusted relationships quickly which then leads to much more productive and quicker resolution of issues or establishing a point of view. I have worked on a number of deals with Kathryn, and she is simply superb”.

“Throughout the entire process of the sale of our company, Kathryn Paisley and Daniel Halls provided a wealth of knowledge. Both were always accessible and patient which helped to keep our stress levels down. With their expertise and guidance, the successful sale of our company was guaranteed”.

“The team at Rix & Kay are extremely personable. They genuinely care about our business and best interests. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are always happy to take the time to explain complex legal jargon and ensure we fully understand the detail. Compared to other firms we have engaged with, Rix & Kay value our business, not matter how large or small”.
