Legal division
In short, a legal split means splitting the company (the legal entity). The great advantage of a legal split is that you can split your company with one legal act. This way you can have all or part of your assets transferred.
Pure demerger or split-off
In legal demerger, it is possible both for the demerging company to cease to exist (called pure demerger) and for the demerging company to continue to exist (demerger).
The specialists at Marks Wachters notaries have extensive experience with company demergers. They know the conditions that a legal demerger must meet and will be happy to advise you on the options for your personal situation.
