    We advise companies of all sizes — from startups to established companies — when they buy and sell businesses. We can see the perspective of both buyers and sellers in a deal. As strategic thinkers, our tax team collaborates with accountants and financial advisors to achieve a common tax goal for our clients.

    Through planning and strategy at the onset of a transaction, we identify the best tax structure for a company’s current state and its exit. If the situation requires it, we restructure to bring a business to a better tax position before the transaction proceeds. 

    We advise clients on how to structure acquisitions and dispositions of their assets from a tax-advantaged perspective and minimize their risks.

    When a transaction is cross-border, our team works closely with our TerraLex affiliates to advise clients on tax-efficient means to structure their deals.
