M&A tax
M&A transactions are key moments in any company’s life, and also moments when years of tax governance and tax planning can be undone, especially when it comes to cross-border deals. Many deals are performed under time pressure, making immediate access to on-the-ground expertise vital.
Our approach
When you are considering an acquisition, a merger, or other types of corporate restructuring, it is important to assess the tax impact and requirements. You want your transaction to be as efficient as possible, commercially, financially, and tax-wise.
Tax is an important part of our global, multidisciplinary M&A service that brings in advisory, valuation, due diligence, and integration consulting. Our understanding of the full transaction lifecycle helps us deliver key tax advice at the speed needed so that opportunities are seized, and the best prices are obtained.
