Non-profit attorneys must navigate unique dissolution requirements including cy-pres distribution of assets, IRS Form 990 final filings, and state attorney general notifications, all of which align with this workflow's compliance features.

Dissolution plans are needed when target companies are dissolved post-acquisition or when subsidiaries are wound up as part of corporate restructuring transactions.

M&A attorneys frequently handle post-closing entity rationalization where acquired entities or merged subsidiaries must be formally dissolved, requiring liquidation plans and proper asset distribution documentation.

Corporate governance attorneys advise boards on proper dissolution procedures, including shareholder approval requirements, fiduciary duties during wind-up, and documentation of board resolutions.

The workflow's focus on board resolutions, approval documentation, and compliance with corporate formalities directly supports corporate governance practitioners advising on entity termination decisions.
