The purchase or sale of a business is one of the most far-reaching strategic crossroads in a company’s lifecycle. To fully realize the value of a transaction, early-stage tax planning is essential—whether on the buyer’s or seller’s side. A well-designed tax strategy is crucial to minimizing risks, identifying optimization opportunities, and ensuring the economic success of the transaction
Tax pitfalls are manifold—especially in cases involving complex transactions, international ownership structures, or unresolved legacy burdens. Insufficient preparation can lead to significant risks and financial disadvantages, not only at the time of the transaction but also in the long term. We guide you through the entire M&A process—from strategic preparation to successful execution—ensuring that tax aspects are addressed early and comprehensively.
Our services include tax due diligence, optimal structuring of the transaction, as well as drafting and negotiating of tax-relevant contractual clauses. In addition, we support companies in preparing for a sale by analyzing existing structures, addressing tax risks, and carving out specific business units to make the transaction more efficient and attractive. We take both national and international tax regulations into account and, where necessary, coordinate tax advice across multiple jurisdictions.
Our goal is to deliver tax-effective and economically sustainable solutions that are fully aligned with your strategic objectives. You benefit from our many years of working in multidisciplinary M&A teams and experience in advising on the tax aspects of M&A processes—for both mid-sized businesses and international groups.
