Tax Advice for M&A and Corporate Restructuring

We provide global tax planning for mergers and acquisitions as well as pre-spin off and post-acquisition restructuring. 
 
As the pace of globalization accelerates, cross-border mergers and acquisitions have become a daily occurrence. The need for highly specialized tax counsel to provide integrated global tax advice with respect to such transactions has become apparent.
 
Working closely with corporate and securities lawyers to assess the corporate ramifications of potential structures and to get the deal done, the Global Tax Transactions Group devises and implements global tax strategies for public and private mergers and acquisitions. These strategies - focused on transactional planning, structuring, and financing - produce substantial tax savings and legal efficiencies for our clients. Because of its depth of expertise and its geographic scope, the Global Tax Transactions Group is also called upon to conduct complex multijurisdictional tax due diligence projects to ferret out potential tax exposures and liabilities that can impact significantly the price paid in a merger or acquisition. The Global Tax Transactions Group drafts and reviews transaction documentation to ensure that our clients realize the tax savings they seek and are protected from tax risks and exposures. Such documentation includes merger agreements, share and asset purchase agreements, shareholder agreements, financing agreements, offer documents, prospectuses, and employee retention arrangements.
