The purpose of the article: to introduce about reorganization transactions and restructuring processes to help Latvian real estate services companies implement acquisitions and mergers and company restructuring to achieve better business results. Methods: The monographic and descriptive method was used to analyse the theoretical aspects of the management of company reorganization transactions and restructuring processes, secondary data analysis and expert interviews were used to characterize the situation in the real estate management services industry, but the quantitative research method, for example, the analysis of statistical data on reorganization transactions, was used in conjunction with the comparative, analytical, deductive, logical research method.
