Sought out for its capabilities to provide ‘effective and efficient combination of legal advice and global project management,’ PwC LLP’s international business reorganisations group remains a go-to for an impressive array of clients from various industry sectors, including tech, retail, and consumer goods. The team is particularly adept at advising on high-value cross-border mandates ranging from operation restructurings and entity simplification projects to the establishment of parent companies and global restructuring projects. Co-leading the practice are Georgie Blyth and Cynthia Chan; Blyth stands out for his aptitude for assisting multinational and publicly listed companies on international reorganisations, cross-border restructurings, and compliance, while Chan is highly regarded for her specialism in deal-related structuring, which encompasses pre-deal carve-outs, separations, and spin-offs, as well as post-deal integration projects. The department also benefits from the transactional expertise of Kevin King, Latika Sharma, and Laura Freestone.
