SRZ's M&A tax practice includes tax-free reorganizations, acquisitions and dispositions of portfolio companies by leveraged buyout and other private equity funds, strategic acquisitions, and purchases of distressed companies. Our tax lawyers coordinate with the firm's business transaction group from the earliest stage of each transaction to reduce tax transaction costs, preserve and enhance tax attributes and plan for efficient exit strategies. We have experience in acquiring companies in a broad range of businesses, from high tech to heavy industries, natural resources, telecommunications, investment management, defense, restaurants and logistics. Our M&A tax lawyers handle all the tax aspects of the transaction, from devising the transaction structure and negotiating the merger or purchase agreement to handling the tax provisions of the financing documents and negotiating employment agreements for senior management.
