Corporate Restructure - how can we help you?

Big players in every industry are continually having to adapt to the ever evolving landscape (be it Brexit, economic substance rules, BEPS, Covid-19 etc) to ensure the longevity and success of their businesses. Here we see Unilever streamlining their Group legal structure to be held under a single parent company via the merger of its Dutch NV and UK plc.

We have seen that groups that have a Gibraltar nexus have also in part followed the Unilever approach to streamline their legal structure and we have been able to assist them in a number of ways which include, but are not limited to

merging entities within the corporate structure (pursuant to either the Companies (Cross-Border Mergers) Regulations 2010 in Gibraltar - following from the Directive (EU) 2017/1132 of the European Parliament and of the Counsel of 14 June 2017 or under the Gibraltar Companies Act 2014 for schemes of arrangement)
redomiciliations of group entities in or out of Gibraltar (pursuant to the Companies (Re-Domicilation) Regulations 1996)
liquidations, repatriation/re-charactisation/contribution/sale of both equity and debt.

Gibraltar offers a flexible and timely business environment for groups wanting to restructure (be it those with existing interest in Gibraltar or those looking for possible alternatives to establish) and we offer a full spectrum of services to assist with the same.

It is also clear that the Covid-19 pandemic will create a business environment in which having as much flexibility and responsiveness as possible will be critically important. www.unilever.com/...
