      A complex international environment constantly creates new challenges: In the transaction business as well as in corporate transformation. And beyond.

      In the area of complex and often cross-border projects, our International Transaction Tax team specialises in the special situations that arise in day-to-day business. The number of these is increasing, as the dynamics of the markets and the requirements of the regulators are growing worldwide. In addition, megatrends such as digitalisation and decarbonisation are constantly opening up new opportunities.

      Challenges due to a dynamic international environment

      The effects are clearly noticeable: many internationally active companies are initiating increasingly complex transformation projects, and the transaction business is also booming. Challenging projects that can determine the successful future of a company.

      Our range of services

      International Transaction Tax has the experts who can provide you with competent support in your transformation and transaction projects and are also at your side in special situations.

      Our counselling services in detail:

      Transformation

      • Business Separation, 
      • Joint Venture, 
      • Business Integrations

       
      The day-to-day business of an international company is complex enough - but the adjustment or reorganisation of the corporate strategy or business model often leads to additional, complex transformation projects. Regardless of whether the planned reorganisation involves the spin-off of parts of the company, the integration of acquired divisions, cooperation with third parties within the framework of joint ventures or the realignment of group financing, projects of this kind also require specialist tax knowledge and increasingly also affect medium-sized companies with foreign activities. And often access to a global network that gathers all the necessary information and combines it into promising plans. Key areas of advice include

      • Support and design of transformation processes
      • Company demergers or mergers
      • Reorganisation of the financing or IP structure

      Transaction

      • Due Diligence, 
      • Structuring, 
      • SPA, 
      • Tax Fact Book

      We have specialised in advising financial investors on transactions for many years. Based on tax due diligence, our experts develop suitable solutions to take account of identified risks when drafting the purchase agreement and to prepare an optimal acquisition structure. They support you in drafting the purchase agreement and also assist you in a possible post-deal phase with a tax integration plan that realises the expected synergies. Key areas of advice include

      • Company acquisitions and sales in Germany and abroad
      • Post Deal Services

      Further information on some of the corporate and private equity deals we have advised on to date can be found here.

      Special Situations

      • Restructuring, 
      • IPO Readiness, 
      • SPAC, 
      • Funding

      In addition to transformation projects as part of a change in corporate strategy or traditional transaction business, there are many other occasions that require special expertise. Examples include the preparation of an IPO, whether with the entire company or individual divisions. The management of a crisis situation also requires specialised tax expertise in restructuring issues. The utilisation of new instruments such as SPACs should also be intensively examined from a tax perspective. Key areas of advice include

      • Initial public offerings
      • Restructuring projects

      Whether transformation, transaction or special situations, our experts regularly work together in interdisciplinary teams. Their composition is tailored to the individual needs of each project. In addition to tax expertise, our teams have an in-depth understanding of a wide range of industries. In the majority of our projects, we also work very closely with our colleagues from Deal Advisory.

      Change will continue to be a constant factor in tax law in the future: We therefore monitor legislation, case law and opinion developments in the relevant jurisdictions as well as developments within the EU and keep you up to date with the latest tax news and solutions from international competence centres and national tax offices on request.
