Frequently asked questions

Before you start.

Corporate law → Tax → Restructuring → Business owners & succession →
What is an OBO?

An Owner Buy Out is a transaction in which an owner sells all or part of their shares, or a property, to a holding company they control. It unlocks part of the value created while keeping control of the business.

When should a lawyer get involved in a sale?

As early as possible, before the letter of intent. That is when the scope, the price and the structure of the deal are decided, and therefore much of its tax treatment.

Do you also act for investment funds?

Yes. We act for companies raising funds as well as for the funds investing, and for managers investing alongside them in an LBO.
