The main purpose of a demerger is to segregate the different activities of a single company by transferring the distinct business into separate companies or group of companies. In certain cases, the demerger results (by design) in a change of control of both, or all, businesses as they will be held by different shareholders after the demerger. A demerger may be pursued for a variety of reasons including the realisation of the full value of each business (i.e., they are individually more valuable as separate businesses than they would be within a single company), or perhaps a decision by the owners to pursuant independent business strategies (possibly in different business sectors). Alternatively, a demerger might proceed as an alternative to a sale. Read additional details at https://www.birdilaw.com/.

As your legal advisors, we will discuss the legal merits and a costs-benefit analysis of your case. We will also advise on how we think the dispute can be settled, including tactical moves to put pressure on your opponent to settle the dispute. So, how can you try to resolve a dispute outside of the courts? Well, here are some popular methods: Negotiation – trying to agree terms of settlement with your opponent by way of “off the record” correspondence and contractual negotiations. Mediation – a neutral third party is brought in to facilitate a settlement at a meeting or series or meetings. Expert Determination – the parties agree to be bound by the opinion of a chosen professional expert.
