Our Services
Resolution of Tax Disputes
We are committed to protecting our clients' rights, minimizing tax exposure and achieving commercially sound outcomes through effective dispute resolution strategies tailored to each client's unique circumstances. Whether the dispute involves Income Tax, VAT, PAYE, Customs and Excise, Transfer Duty or other tax obligations, we provide expert guidance and representation aimed at securing fair and efficient resolution of tax disputes.
Business Rescue Practitioner Appointments
Our services include conducting financial and operational assessments, managing stakeholder engagements, preparing and implementing business rescue plans, negotiating with creditors and financiers, securing post-commencement funding, and overseeing the restructuring of the company's affairs, business, property and liabilities. Where rescue is not reasonably achievable, we assist in achieving a better return for creditors and affected persons than would ordinarily result from an immediate liquidation.
With a practical and commercially focused approach, we work closely with directors, creditors, employees and other stakeholders to stabilize distressed businesses, protect jobs where possible, and create sustainable pathways to recovery and long-term success.
Tax Due Diligence (Mergers & Acquisitions)
Our due diligence process includes the examination of Income Tax, VAT, PAYE, Customs and Excise, Transfer Pricing, Withholding Taxes, and other applicable tax obligations. We assess historical tax compliance, outstanding disputes with SARS, contingent liabilities, unrecorded tax exposures and the potential impact of transaction structures on future tax obligations.
By identifying and quantifying tax risks at an early stage, we assist clients in making informed commercial decisions, negotiating appropriate warranties and indemnities, structuring transactions efficiently and ensuring compliance with applicable tax legislation. Our goal is to provide practical, commercially focused advice that protects our clients' interests and supports successful transaction outcomes.
Compromises, Informal Work-outs and Turnarounds
Our services include negotiating repayment arrangements, restructuring debt obligations, facilitating settlements with creditors, improving cash flow management, developing operational and financial turnaround plans. We work closely with management, financiers, creditors and other stakeholders to identify sustainable solutions that support business continuity and long-term recovery.
By combining legal, financial and strategic expertise, we assist businesses in navigating periods of financial distress, minimize disruption to operations, protect stakeholder interests and create a pathway toward renewed profitability and growth.
