Corporate Reorganisations
In a fast-changing global marketplace, commercial and structural flexibility has become a competitive advantage for large international enterprises.
The group comprises a multi-disciplinary team of experts and draws on unrivalled and extensive experience of guiding and supporting the group’s international clients as they engage in strategic reorganisation of their business operations and corporate structures, in collaboration with clients’ internal team and other external advisors.
In order to achieve optimal results, Matheson provides a specific reorganisations service offering that is centred on designing and delivering tailored solutions that are closely aligned with the global objectives of the group’s clients and the commercial imperatives that drive their business.
The group’s corporate reorganisation practice has developed a stellar reputation in the Irish market, in particular in the context of advising multinational companies and international law firms on the complex legal and commercial issues that arise when global companies integrate, consolidate or restructure their international business operations.

- cash repatriation strategies, dividend planning and procedures;
- corporate migrations from other jurisdictions;
- cross border mergers, conversions and divisions;
- post-acquisition integration of acquired groups of companies;
- restructuring or migration of intellectual property rights; and
- rationalisation projects designed to simplify and create efficient group structures.
