Mergers & Acquisitions

STL’s Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Tax Practice delivers sophisticated tax solutions for transactions that span business sectors and strategic goals. We understand that each industry comes with its own challenges. High-tech and startup sectors that are characterized by rapid growth and innovation do not need the same tax strategies as real estate groups facing a complex regulatory and tax landscape. We design tax solutions to align with your business objectives, and we support you through every stage of the transaction. Whether you are navigating a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or joint venture, we will help you maximize value and minimize risk.

Services

High-Level Due Diligence: We review due diligence reports; assess potential tax liabilities, risks, and opportunities associated with the findings; and implement the findings in the M&A agreement to protect your interests.

Transaction Structuring: We want our clients’ transactions to be structured optimally for their needs. Should the transaction be structured as an asset purchase or a stock purchase? Whether you are a buyer or seller, we structure the deal to minimize your tax risks and burdens, and we identify ways to leverage structures like tax-free reorganizations and spin-offs. We also consider the international tax implications, especially if the transaction spans multiple jurisdictions.

Tax Representation and Negotiation Support: Our team stays with you throughout the negotiation, harnessing our experience to help you secure favorable terms and manage tax-related liabilities.

Tax Rulings and Withholding Certificates: We represent you to obtain all the tax documentation that is required to close the transaction. Examples include tax-free reorganization rulings, employee benefit plan rulings, and tax withholding certificates for the distribution of consideration to sellers.

Post-Transaction Services: Our post-closing tax services optimize future taxes for purchased entities.
