Merger, Acquisition & Reorganization Services 

Over the past few years, an international trend toward increasing takeovers and combinations has pushed merger and acquisition activity to its highest level ever.
With today’s uncertain market conditions, this trend may continue as some companies seek opportunities to invest in distressed assets or businesses, while others refinance and reposition parts of their business to enhance or create value.

Companies involved in any of these complex transactions could benefit from tax advice that goes beyond traditional tax compliance and due diligence. They may also need to focus on tax issues and opportunities that arise both during and after the transaction, such as restructuring for a business disposal, refinancing for an acquisition, or preparing for a tax-efficient deal structure.

In addition to working with private and public company clients, our M&A Tax Services professionals assist financial and institutional clients, including investment funds, pension funds, sovereign funds, and private equity funds, in structuring their inbound and outbound investments.

Meeting These Challenges


To create real and long-lasting value, you should move quickly to take advantage of market opportunities. However, you should also carefully consider all of the associated tax implications—from measuring tax liabilities in the initial due diligence phase through the structuring of the deal, to compliance in the post-merger period. And throughout, you should look beyond compliance and develop a tax-efficient plan that meets your broader strategic business goals.

M&A Tax professionals can help you design a transaction in a way that efficiently manages your tax costs while remaining consistent with your business objectives. We provide tax due diligence (buy and sell), modelling, structuring (pre-and post-deal), and reorganization (pre-deal) services. We also help you prepare advance tax ruling requests and negotiate with the tax authorities regarding the structure and taxation of merger, acquisition, and reorganization transactions.

If your business is involved in, or considering, a cross-border merger, acquisition, or reorganization, our Global M&A Tax practice can assist you.
