14.00 Welcome - James Tucker, Partner, Scrutton Bland 14.05 Luke Morris, Corporate Finance Partner, & Gavin Birchall, Tax Partner, Scrutton Bland Corporate structure in a post-Brexit world Whether “Remain” or “Leave”, Brexit has prompted corporates to reconsider how their trading and investment vehicles are structured. Are they robust enough to withstand and ring-fence the risks that may be on the horizon? Are they flexible enough to enable any opportunities presented to be exploited responsively whether by way of future fund raisings or future exit routes, before the competition? From our practical experience in the past year, this session goes in to some specific steps corporates are currently taking around structure. We will cover the related financial, strategic and taxation consequences, to assist your thought process with any proposed changes you may have in mind given the UK’s new place in the world.
