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.
