Mergers & Acquisitions Tax

Mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and other corporate transactions are complex ordeals that involve multiple layers and highly sophisticated negotiations. As such, it can be difficult to anticipate the exact outcome of these transactions without a skillful analysis of what each aspect of the merger or acquisition will entail. In particular, the precise tax implications of a merger will vary depending on the structure of the transaction, its jurisdictions, the types of entities involved, the assets being bought/sold/traded, and so forth.

Hart David Carson, gives thorough legal counsel to assist you through the vagaries of mergers, acquisitions, and other intricate corporate transactions. We’ve helped numerous clients throughout the Chicago-Metro area and other parts of Illinois minimize their tax liabilities through skilled legal counsel and representation.

Corporate Transactions and Tax Laws

The complex nature of acquisitions, mergers, and other forms of corporate transactions means it can be difficult to predict the impact they will have on current and future tax obligations—at least without the skilled guidance and counsel of a legal representative. While each transaction varies widely from the next, there are a few items to be aware of. For instance:

• Certain types of reorganizations can be completed tax free if specific conditions are met
• The location of the entities involved can affect what state and local tax laws may apply
• Stock sales may avoid double taxation, but at the expense of other benefits
• Asset sales may be subject to certain taxes that leave the seller at a disadvantage

Naturally, you’ll want an experienced attorney to advise you on these matters, which is where we at Hart David Carson come in.
