Our approach  

When you are considering a merger or an acquisition, it is important to assess your tax obligations. You will want to make sure your transaction is as efficient as possible, both commercially and financially.  

Tax is a vital part of our global, cross-disciplinary 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 to ensure opportunities are seized and best prices obtained. 

Our network spans more than 90 countries and territories, including expert presence in countries such as Brazil, China and India where tax systems are undergoing significant change and transactions can be tripped up by tax issues such as transfer pricing and rules on controlled foreign companies. 

We offer particular assistance to a wide range of corporate clients, both listed and privately-owned companies for whom a major, cross-border M&A deal can be transformative, but which previously may have had needs for sophisticated tax planning.
