As part of the restructuring subpractice (M&A transactions) lawyers of Lovtsov Klochko & Partners provide legal services to Clients on the implementation of all types of reorganizations of legal entities, namely in the form of transformation, merger, split-up and split-off.

Over the past decade, Belarus has developed a fairly stable practice in the implementation of reorganizations, which have become quite widespread and as a rule are most often carried out in the following cases:

1. When restructuring a business:

• when it is necessary to consolidate or split the assets of the Company (group of Companies) for the purpose of tax optimization, for instance;
• in case of “toxic” liabilities, when there is a choice between initiating a procedure of economic insolvency (bankruptcy) of the Company, which would entail “winding-up” of the entire business, or separating the most liquid part of the assets in order to achieve a certain stabilization and further sustainable business development, while the remaining part of the business is subjected to liquidation / bankruptcy procedure initiation.

2. When performing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by which, in fact, the purchase and sale of a business is carried out.
