COMPANY/CORPORATE

At Ozon Solicitors we have developed a wide range of commercial services to meet the needs of our clients. Our commercial team take a pragmatic approach to providing the best solutions for all our clients.

Company & partnerships

Including matters of company restructure, shareholders’ agreements, share purchase & finance

Particularly in times of economic upheaval, it can be desirable for companies to restructure. This can involve, amongst other things, the selling of unwanted assets, the turning of debt to equity on the balance sheet and focusing on issues related to insolvency and director’s personal liability. Our Commercial lawyers have assisted our clients in all these areas.

We have also helped clients reorganise their legal structure which can involve the consultation of employees, dealing with any property issues they may arise, consulting with customers and obtaining their approval and the restructuring of debt and shareholder funds.

Ozon solicitors can also advise on share purchase and finance, the repurchase of shares, redemptions of shares, dividends, dividends in specie and all other methods of extracting shareholder value. Due to the regulatory framework, legal, taxation and accounting matters involved being interrelated, these issues can often be complex. It is for this reason that we work closely with suitably qualified accountants and tax advisers in order to make sure our clients receive the best advice.

Contract drafting

Our commercial team can advise your company on the selection of the appropriate contract structure from the outset and subsequently handle all the drafting and negotiation of the documentation required to deliver the project.
