Brexit overview: your corporate structure and Brexit
We can help you navigate uncertainty, mitigate any legal risks and even find ways for your organisation to capitalise through a more efficient corporate structure.
A limited part of UK company law derives from European law, and the position is unlikely to change dramatically immediately following the end of the transition period. The Government plans to make only minimal amendments to enable legislation in this area to continue to function. However, you may still benefit from reviewing your structures to determine whether they are still fit for purpose and continue to fulfil the right conditions. We can help you navigate uncertainty, mitigate any legal risks and even find ways for your organisation to capitalise through a more efficient corporate structure.
Key issues
- Societas Europaea (public limited company subject to EU-wide laws)
- Cross border merger regime
- Recognition of UK companies across the EU

Those circumstances potentially arise when a company is insolvent or where there is a “probability” of an insolvency. We explore below the “trigger” for such a test to apply and its implications.
