The corporate and tax teams advise on all aspects of merger and acquisition transactions, from complex cross-border public takeover transactions to private acquisitions. Cross-border mergers and acquisitions generally involve regulatory restructuring, due diligence, contract negotiation, tax advice and competition as well as labour law aspects of which our firm has wide-ranging experience. We also act for a large number of private equity houses in transactions which involve structuring, drafting of and advising on joint venture and shareholder agreements as well as corporate and financing documentation. The firm’s corporate teams work very closely with the tax team to offer clients tailor-made, tax-optimised solutions.
