MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
In our Firm, we focus our advice in the corporate transactions by working closely with other teams and colleagues in a coordinated way, so we can provide our clients with an integrated service that covers tax and non tax support in a coherent and efficient way.
Over the course of our career we have worked with large and medium sized industrial groups, financial institutions and private equity investors, in their expansion and divestitures in the Spanish market and abroad. We have given our advice in these processes in several areas, including:
- Due diligence, aimed at achieving an in-depth knowledge of the tax position of the target companies, potential contingencies and issues that are of interest to any potential investor. From a different viewpoint, we have also helped clients prepare vendor’s due diligence reports, that allow companies offer a fair and complete overview on the main tax matters that may be relevant to bidders.
- Anticipation, review and coordination in all phases, of the tax implications of the negotiation of an agreement for the sale, purchase, merger, separation or joint venture, including coverage of tax guarantees, exit taxation, investment and divestment structuring and remuneration schemes.
- Tax structuring of the deal, allowing for an optimized tax burden of the transaction, and particularly ensuring that, where possible, it can be implemented with no adverse tax consequences under the special tax neutrality regime.
- Post-completion support in all tax matters relating to the execution and implementation of the transaction and, potentially, tax litigation matters arising amongst the parties involved therein.
