At LegisFortis, we provide strategic legal counsel to businesses undergoing transformation—whether prompted by financial distress, market realignment, regulatory shifts, or growth aspirations. Our corporate restructuring practice is tailored to ensure that entities navigate change with legal clarity, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance.
Legal and Financial Diagnosis
We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your corporate structure, financial obligations, and operational framework to identify risks and restructuring opportunities. This includes a review of holding structures, inter-company relationships, contractual liabilities, and regulatory exposures.
Strategic Restructuring & Scheme Drafting
Our team assists with structuring mergers, demergers, amalgamations, hive-offs, slump sales, and share capital reorganisations. We draft legally robust schemes of arrangement under the Companies Act, 2013, and represent clients before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for approval proceedings.
Regulatory Liaison & Compliance
We handle end-to-end compliance with regulatory bodies including the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Competition Commission of India (CCI), and stock exchanges, as applicable.
Debt Restructuring & Creditor Negotiations
We support our clients in negotiations with secured and unsecured creditors, including banks and financial institutions. This includes advisory on debt rescheduling, conversion into equity, and resolution under pre-IBC frameworks.
Stakeholder Engagement
Recognising the importance of stakeholder buy-in, we assist in coordinating communications and securing approvals from shareholders, creditors, and other impacted parties through board resolutions, general meetings, and consent solicitations.
Cross-Border Restructuring
For clients operating across jurisdictions, we advise on foreign exchange laws, taxation, and cross-border structuring within the ambit of FEMA, DTAA provisions, and applicable international regulatory standards.
