Corporate reorganisation & restructuring

Anthony Collins’ corporate restructuring lawyers design and deliver group reorganisations that simplify structures, manage risk and support growth, investment or exit.

We help you to streamline group companies, ring‑fence risk, integrate after mergers, create new holding or regional entities and implement governance reforms. No matter whether driven by regulation, funding, tax efficiency or strategic change, our corporate law solicitors work closely with your board, finance and tax advisers to make sure reorganisations are legally robust, well‑documented and clearly communicated to regulators, lenders and stakeholders.

If you are reshaping your group or preparing for the next phase of growth, we can guide you from initial options through to implementation.

We support you with core trading terms, framework agreements, outsourcing and technology contracts, supply and distribution arrangements, partnership agreements and licensing, as well as protecting intellectual property. Our focus is on clarity of obligations, risk allocation, pricing, performance and termination, so contracts are usable by your teams and stand up when challenged. Whether you are refreshing standard terms, negotiating a strategic supply contract or documenting a new collaboration, we will help you secure fair, workable and enforceable agreements.

Management and employee incentive schemes

Anthony Collins’ corporate and commercial solicitors design shareholder and employee incentive schemes that align reward, control and long‑term mission.

We advise on shareholder agreements, investment and governance rights, employee ownership trusts (EOTs), option schemes and wider equity incentives, to help founders, boards and investors with commercial decision making.

We love to support arrangements where values, public accountability and social purpose matter, ensuring that constitutional documents and ownership models support both stability, succession and value that really makes a difference.
