Our Management Buyouts, Spin-Offs, and Business Breakups team provide specialized assistance in navigating the intricate landscape of management buyouts (MBOs), spin-offs, and business breakups. At PLG, we understand that strategic transitions can be both complex and pivotal moments for any business and its stakeholders, and our team of seasoned legal experts is dedicated to providing tailored solutions to our clients undergoing these transactions.
Management Buyouts (MBOs) – We advise founders and owners on taking control of their companies with our guidance on MBOs. We have represented both the founders/owners on the sell-side and the members of management on the buy-side. MBOs often translate into a smoother and quicker transaction than an entirely ‘arms-length’ transaction. There is generally a reduced need for due diligence due to the existing knowledge of the business that the leadership team already has. From structuring the transaction, evaluating tax issues, to negotiating terms, PLG works efficiently with our clients with the goal of a smooth transition that aligns with our clients’ strategic visions and protects their interests.
Spin-Offs – Our seasoned legal team works with our clients to restructure their business assets or divisions through strategic spin-offs. We provide comprehensive advice on entity structuring, minimizing taxes, asset allocation, and regulatory compliance, empowering our clients to create value and pursue growth opportunities, with the goal of minimizing the client’s risk.
Business Breakups – When business partnerships come to an end, PLG assists clients in navigating the complexities of business breakups with sensitivity and precision. From drafting separation agreements to helping resolve disputes, PLG strives to help safeguard the client’s assets and reputation while facilitating a smooth transition to the next chapter.
Our Management Buyouts, Spin-Offs and Business Breakup team has a wealth of experience in guiding our clients through all of the stages of the buyout/ spinoff/ breakup process, from initial planning and due diligence, to negotiation, execution and post-closing support. Whether our clients are members of management embarking on a management buyout, a business restructuring through a spin-off, or a client navigating the complexities and emotions of a business breakup, PLG is here to provide comprehensive legal support and strategic counsel.
