Plan of Arrangement

Plan of Arrangement

A Plan of Arrangement is a legal procedure used primarily in corporate restructuring and insolvency scenarios -- we're here to provide effective solutions.

Helping you restructure and emerge stronger.

British Columbia requires public companies seeking to restructure in certain specified and significant ways to secure court approval through a plan of arrangement. The court process allows a company to apply for approval to, among other things, combine with other companies, split off a wing of its business, approve take-over bids or engage other mechanisms to ensure its business comes out of the process stronger and better positioned in the marketplace. It’s a helpful, structured tool that allows for business flexibility, certainty and fairness.

 

Our expertise can be invaluable for service businesses navigating these complex waters. With our deep understanding of the legal landscape and a track record of managing multi-faceted restructuring deals, we help companies leverage the flexibility of the Plan of Arrangement to achieve effective outcomes. Much like how high-profile mergers and acquisitions utilize the Plan of Arrangement for its adaptability, we ensure that our clients can navigate this process seamlessly, whether they’re aiming for a fundamental reorganization or addressing complex capital structures. Our strategic approach is designed to provide robust solutions that support long-term business health and operational continuity.
