Hitting All The Right Notes: De-merger Advice In The Music Sector

Corporate and Commercial team at Wilson Browne Solicitors advises on de-merger of companies from an internationally owned group in the UK music sector.

The advice involved the extraction of several trading companies and associated intellectual property assets and brands from a large multinational joint venture structure together with the completion of related documentation.

The team at Wilson Browne also worked closely with the accountants and tax advisors to the clients concerned to ensure that the transaction was completed smoothly, on time and in the most tax-efficient manner.

The project was led by Andrew Kerr and Guy Zarins, Partner and Solicitor respectively within the Corporate and Commercial law team at Wilson Browne Solicitors.
Andrew Kerr commented:

We are delighted to have advised in this transaction and to have achieved the required de-merger efficiently and within an extremely short timescale. The cross-border nature of some aspects of the transaction presented their own unique challenges, but the knowledge and depth of experience within the team helped enormously in achieving the right outcome for the clients concerned in a timely manner.

Duncan Crowther, Partner and Head of Corporate and Commercial at Wilson Browne, further commented:

The speed and efficiency with which this transaction was completed is a testament to the ability of the Corporate and Commercial team here at Wilson Browne to adapt and tackle the most complex of corporate transactions in a timely manner, whilst also delivering the great level of service that our clients know they will always receive.
