We frequently act in cases where a key asset to be taken into account is a significant shareholding or other form of investment (such as a share option) in a company or other business entity – in some cases, a larger company which has bought out the original business for a non cash consideration.

Key issues which often arise are:

  • valuation of shares or other interests in a company or business
  • commercial procedures for realisation of such interests and arrangements for their division between the parties
  • arrangements for ongoing management and funding of such businesses
  • tax treatment of such matters.

At Blake Lapthorn, there is wide experience of finding solutions to such issues and guiding clients through these matters to a conclusion.

We have strong links with well-respected accountants who can assist when required.
