The tax ramifications of a transaction are determined by a multitude of factors, all of which are subject to change with the tax laws themselves. Our tax attorneys provide transactional clients, both buyers and sellers, with savvy yet flexible advice on the most tax-efficient means of structuring their deals. We spend much of our time at the front end of these deals, identifying the entity structures and compensation schemes that work best from a tax perspective. As tax laws evolve, our advice on the structural aspects of transactions evolves with them.

A Wide-Ranging Practice

Our clients trust us to look at their acquisitions and dispositions from a tax-advantaged perspective. Our advice is informed by our deep knowledge of the changing tax laws, and we have broad experience in a full range of tax controversies. We work with both litigators and our own labor and employment lawyers to structure tax-related settlements in disputes. And we navigate the tax implications for real estate transactions, individuals, joint ventures and funds — including like-kind exchange transactions.

Facilitating Cross-Border Deals

Many of our clients are large multinational holding companies based in Europe with a massive presence in the United States. They are constantly buying and selling companies in this country, and we work with them to optimize their tax posture on both sides of the Atlantic. Likewise for U.S. clients looking to expand abroad, especially to Europe, we work with trusted local counsel to manage the tax implications of their cross-border transactions.

Representative Experience

  • Assisted a multinational client in a large-scale simplification of the structure of its holding company. Coordinated both tax and operating company interests, which was achieved through a series of sequenced mergers and other transactions in multiple jurisdictions and resulted in the elimination of more than 50 entities.

  • Provided tax advice to an international translation company in the acquisition of a U.S. holding company with multiple European subsidiaries.

  • Advised an online travel shopping company in the divestiture of a luxury vacation, B2B wholesaler to a private equity firm.

  • Provided guidance on tax matters for an advertising health group in its acquisition of a full-service, patient engagement agency.

  • Counseled on tax issues as part of our guidance on the sale of a digital products agency to a leading private equity firm, allowing the agency's broad employee shareholder base to realize on the substantial equity value they had created, while continuing to participate in the company's future growth.

  • Advised the founders and shareholders of a leading Latinx advertising agency on tax and other deal issues in its sale to a digital consulting company.

  • Advised an online travel shopping company in the divestiture of a luxury vacation B2B wholesaler to a private equity firm.
