International Tax

In a global marketplace, almost all transactions have cross-border components. Our Tax team provides strategic advice and innovative solutions to companies with cross-border business transactions globally, with a particular focus on those in the corporate, investment funds and financial restructuring areas.

We also have a deep understanding of how to create tax planning that reduces the cost of acquiring a target group, as well as the optimal ways to facilitate a foreign acquirer’s acquisition of a U.S. target. Our tax attorneys work with tax counsel and advisors in foreign jurisdictions to develop structures that are tax-efficient from both U.S. and foreign tax perspectives.

Working globally with other key practices at the firm, our team advises on international tax matters of all types, including:

Cross-border acquisitions, reorganizations and joint ventures
Post-acquisition integration planning
Inbound and outbound investments
International capital market transactions
Derivatives and financial products
Expatriation structures
Cross-border investment management structures
International tax disputes and compliance
Transfer pricing.

Many of the sophisticated transactions and financial products developed in the U.S. can be useful in similar situations abroad. However, foreign tax and regulatory concerns often make use of identical transactions or products impractical or impossible.

The global knowledge and experience of the tax team ensures the firm is best placed to advise on the restructuring of these transactions and products to address restrictions in foreign jurisdictions and the specific concerns of international clients.
