      M&A Tax services designed to drive value

      Ever-changing global tax laws and regulations pose challenges for even the most prepared organizations navigating an acquisition, merger, disposition, or restructuring. Overlapping tax implications and the commercial realities of the transaction can create risk and prevent a strategic opportunity from reaching its expected value.

      From due diligence, structuring, advanced modeling, to post-deal integration, our global network of specialist M&A tax advisors is here to support you through every step of your transaction.

        Assess tax exposure, liabilities and risks to inform pre-deal decisions and mitigate cross-border compliance concerns.

        Design tax-efficient acquisition, divestment or join venture structures, with strategic deal advisory designed to enhance post-transaction value.

      • Contract and compliance support

        Minimize unexpected tax liabilities and align contracts with due diligence findings, ensuring tax risks are accurately reflected in deal agreements.

      • Post-deal integration

      From modeling tax implications and analyzing potential tax outcomes, to tracking cash and non-cash fund flows, we leverage our proprietary AI and deep-data modeling tools to present a clear picture of deal economics and inform your M&A strategy.

      Vendor assistance

      Supporting vendors with tax documentation, pre-sale restructuring strategies and risk mitigation, our M&A consultants help sellers prioritize proactive tax planning to enhance deal value and facilitate seamless transactions.

      Acquisition cost recovery analysis

      Analyzing the tax treatment of acquisition-related costs, we help organizations maximize deductions, minimize tax inefficiencies and improve their overall deal economics with our leading financial advisory and tax services.

      Post-deal integration

      Helping tax leaders reconcile their own tax positions as well as those of the acquired businesses, we ensure post deal M&A integration delivers its full potential — capturing synergies and aligning reporting to support a smooth transition into future growth.
