Supporting the transformation of your business
Mergers, demergers, group reorganisations, contributions and transfers of business, conversions: from the analysis of the transaction to the completion of the legal formalities.
Over the life of a company, association or foundation, it may become necessary to adapt its legal structure, its shareholding or its membership, or even the organisation of its activities. Growth, diversification, succession, asset reorganisation or changes in the way it operates are all circumstances in which a restructuring may prove necessary.
The Corporate House assists companies, associations and foundations in preparing and carrying out these transactions, taking account of their objectives, their legal constraints and the interests of the parties concerned.
Mergers and demergers
We assist with mergers by acquisition or by incorporation of a new legal entity, as well as full or partial demergers and the similar transactions provided for by the Companies and Associations Code.
Our work includes analysing the proposed transaction, preparing the merger or demerger proposals, drafting or coordinating the reports and resolutions of the competent bodies, and completing the legal formalities.
We also assist associations and foundations with combinations and restructurings for which the Companies and Associations Code provides specific mechanisms, in particular contributions without consideration of a universality or a branch of activity.
Group and structural reorganisations
We assist groups of companies, association networks and institutional organisations with the reorganisation of their legal structures and activities.
These transactions may include the creation or reorganisation of subsidiaries, changes to the links between entities, the combination of activities, the simplification of existing structures or the allocation of tasks among several legal entities.
We are involved in designing and implementing these reorganisations, taking account of the legal and statutory specificities of each organisation.
Contributions and transfers of business
We assist legal entities with contributions of a universality or a branch of activity, asset disposals and transfers of business.
These transactions may take place as part of a group reorganisation, the combination of several associations, the transfer of a business or the reallocation of resources between organisations.
Our support includes the preparation of deeds and agreements, analysis of what happens to the contracts and commitments concerned, coordination of the decisions of the competent bodies and follow-up of the applicable formalities.
Conversions and structural changes
We assist companies with changes of legal form and the other conversions provided for by the Companies and Associations Code.
We also assist associations and foundations as their organisation evolves, in particular by amending their articles of association, purpose, operating rules or representation arrangements.
Our work includes analysing the proposed changes, preparing the necessary deeds and resolutions, and filing and publishing them where required.
Legal support at every stage
Restructuring transactions require rigorous preparation and coordination between the various parties involved. The Corporate House provides legal support to its clients from the analysis of the proposed transactions through to their completion and the fulfilment of the legal formalities.
