Strategic Structuring with Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a separate legal entity created by a parent company to isolate financial risk. Lewis & May provides expert legal advice on the establishment and structuring of SPVs for Australian businesses to manage assets, mitigate risks, and achieve specific corporate objectives.
Our corporate lawyers can assist with the use of SPVs for:
- Risk Management: Transferring specific assets and liabilities to an SPV to isolate risks associated with a particular project or venture, safeguarding the parent company.
- Asset Securitisation: Transforming illiquid assets into marketable securities to raise capital.
- Intellectual Property Holding: Using an SPV to hold and manage valuable IP assets, protecting them from operational risks.
- Project Financing: Establishing SPVs for use in infrastructure projects and other major ventures.
