M&A | Corporate Structuring

Mergers, spin-offs, group simplifications, and acquisitions are not template exercises. Each configuration depends on dozens of moving parts — from tax, legal, and operational angles — all of which shift across jurisdictions, governance models, and group histories.

This is where LS2P intervenes: not to advise in the abstract, but to engineer legal architectures that align with operational realities — across borders, down to the last compliance detail. Our work spans planning, execution, and follow-up, including the coordination of in-house teams and external advisors when needed. What sets our practice apart is not scale — it's structural depth. We design frameworks that reflect the specific ambitions of the groups we support and integrate each structural variable into a high-performing whole.

Our team has engineered complex restructurings from both sides of the table: as tax director within multinational groups, and as legal architects advising them. We don't guess what might work — we build what's already been proven under fire. When there's only one shot at getting it right, experience becomes the decisive edge.
