Whatever your objectives, SorbaraLaw can assist you in restructuring your business in order to achieve the desired result in a manner that minimizes the tax implications of your reorganization.

We have considerable experience in corporate reorganizations and restructurings. We understand amalgamations, mergers and other corporate reorganizations and we have a particular affinity for tax-structured reorganizations. We are routinely involved in transactions using the rollover provisions of the Income Tax Act and have worked closely with virtually all of Waterloo Region’s tax accountants.

Whether you are involved in a butterfly reorganization, share-for-share exchange, reallocation of assets, the movement of corporations within jurisdictions, the winding-up of subsidiary corporations, or you are seeking to use a capital gains exemption or eliminate inter-corporate debt, we can ensure that your restructuring transactions are recorded properly to minimize the chances of an adverse income tax audit. In furtherance of succession plans, we have used the provisions of the Income Tax Act to reorganize many closely held corporations to freeze an estate or prepare for the orderly “passing of the torch” to the next generation. We work closely with your tax and financial advisors and we have a keen appreciation of the tax implications of reorganizations and restructurings.

With almost 30 years of experience in corporate maneuverings, SorbaraLaw can assist you in realizing your reorganization objectives in a competent, timely and cost-effective manner.
