Well-advised clients will benefit from lawyers who can structure their transactions in a legally compliant and effective way. We frequently find defects in the way in which share buyback transactions are structured e.g.: Deferred payments: it is generally unlawful to fund a share buyback in deferred or instalment payments (including leaving the balance outstanding on loan account). Distributable profits but no cash (or vice versa): share buybacks are commonly funded out of a company’s distributable profits, but profit does not automatically mean that enough cash is available to fund the payment for the shares. Similarly, having cash in the bank does not automatically mean that enough profits are available to complete the share buyback transaction. Read extra information at https://www.birdilaw.com/.

How we can help with the Settlement of Disputes: Settling a dispute on acceptable terms can save you and your business a lot of time, money and stress. A key ingredient to a successful settlement is creating solutions that are acceptable to all sides to the dispute. We understand how to deal with the pressure of a legal dispute, when it is appropriate to apply it on the other parties and when the other party is trying to apply it. It is essential to ensure that the wording of the negotiated terms of settlement reflect the scope of the claims that are settled. A common mistake is forgetting to ensure that a settlement is made on an “all claims” basis, rather than merely setting the dispute based on the existing factual situation. We will discuss and advise on the extent of the settlement terms to make sure that the wording has the intended meaning.
