01Ownership

How ownership is held, and how it is carried across generations.

Corporate Structuring

The structure that holds a business or a family’s assets decides who controls them, how they are protected and how readily they can change hands. We design that structure around the principal’s objectives and put it in place.

  1. Holding Structures

    Holding companies that bring businesses and assets under one clear line of control.

  2. Family Office Structures

    The ownership and governance framework through which a family holds and oversees its combined assets.

  3. Foundations

    Foundations that hold assets in their own name, under a charter that sets out control and benefit.

  4. Special Purpose Vehicles

    Dedicated vehicles that ring-fence a single asset, project or transaction.

Succession & Estate Planning

Without a structure, succession is decided by circumstance. We design structures that carry ownership and control from one generation to the next on the principal’s terms, so that what has been built holds together.

  1. Estate Planning

    Assets held in different places and forms, brought into one coherent plan.

  2. Inheritance Structures

    Structures that set out in advance how assets pass, to whom and on what terms.

  3. Family Governance

    Charters and decision rules that keep a family aligned across generations.

  4. Continuity of Control

    Clear lines of authority that keep a business steady through every transition.

02Transactions

How a transaction is built, and how it is financed.

Deal Structuring

A transaction rests on its structure as much as its price. We design the architecture of each deal, from the vehicle and the terms to the flow of funds, the governance and the sequence, and carry it through to completion.

  1. Acquisitions

    The structure through which a business, stake or asset is acquired and held.

  2. Joint Ventures & Partnerships

    Vehicles, terms and governance for parties entering a business or an asset together.

  3. Exits & Reorganisations

    Disposals, partial exits and reorganisations, structured before the transaction rather than during it.

  4. Terms & Documentation

    Term sheets, fund flows and sequencing, documented with counsel and carried to signature.

Financial Structuring

How a business or an acquisition is financed shapes its risk, its control and its room to grow. We structure capital and debt around the owner’s objectives and work with the banks and lenders each structure depends on.

  1. Capital Structure

    The balance of equity and debt that fits the owner’s objectives and the business’s cash flows.

  2. Acquisition Finance

    Financing structures for the purchase of businesses, stakes and real assets.

  3. Debt Restructuring

    Existing obligations reorganised to restore flexibility and protect the business.

  4. Refinancing & Credit Facilities

    Facilities refinanced, and credit lines structured, as the business grows.
