Corporate Transactions: Global rewards in an age of disruption

Prevent corporate transaction headaches through timely resolution of complex tax issues.

In an age marked by digital disruption and economic challenges, corporate transactions (mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, IPOs and reorganizations) have become central to the business strategies of global companies. Unaddressed tax issues related to global reward programs can disrupt transactions or result in post-transaction problems that impact corporations acquiring, selling, reorganizing or divesting U.S. and international entities:

Special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs)
Pre-IPO companies
Public and private companies
