Our global tax team advises on the most complex, strategic and high-value transactions

Getting corporate tax right in a transaction offers real value and can mean the difference between success and failure.

We provide cutting-edge tax advice on structuring and implementing deals, how to avoid tax pitfalls and the documentation needed to reduce or eliminate tax risks.

We advise on the full range of domestic and cross-border transactions, including public and private M&A, joint ventures, demergers and all manner of corporate re-organisations. We advise on private capital investments, secondaries and fund manager transactions, optimising fund structures for investors and post-tax cash flows and maximising flexibility on exits. We also advise on the full range of financial transactions and structures, including restructurings, both directly for clients and as part of multidisciplinary teams.

We regularly act as ‘deal counsel’ on cross-border transactions, co-ordinating local tax advisers to ensure a consistent approach, a single strategic view and efficient client service across all relevant countries.
