Legal and tax post-close playbook: Executing legal entity rationalization after M&A

Webcast

Webcast overview

Acquisitions and add-on activity can leave organizations with legacy subsidiaries, intercompany balances, contracts, and governance obligations that no longer align with the intended operating model. An entity may appear redundant on an organization chart, yet eliminating it without a coordinated tax and legal plan can create unexpected consequences, delay implementation, or leave important obligations behind.

Join KPMG US M&A Tax and KPMG Law US for a practical LegalWatch webcast on moving from a post-acquisition structure to a streamlined, executable legal entity model. Using a case-study approach, our professionals will discuss how tax and legal teams can identify elimination candidates, develop an implementation roadmap, and address the issues that commonly cause legal entity rationalization projects to stall.

As part of this discussion, we will cover:

  • How to assess post-acquisition entities and distinguish apparent redundancy from continuing tax, legal, and operational significance
  • Federal income tax considerations when merging or liquidating subsidiaries, including the treatment of tax attributes and intercompany balances
  • Legal execution considerations involving governance approvals, contracts, guarantees, licenses, permits, employees, intellectual property, and intercompany arrangements
  • How to sequence tax and legal steps so the intended structure is both technically supportable and operationally executable
