You are buying, selling, or reorganizing — and the tax found late in a deal is either priced against you or inherited by you. We run tax due diligence and structuring alongside the deal lawyers, so exposures surface before signing and the price reflects the value you will actually keep.
Identified early, tax risk is priced and managed; discovered late, it is simply inherited. We work in the same room as the lawyers running the deal, so the tax position is built into the transaction rather than bolted on at the end.
What we advise on.
Tax due diligence
We investigate the target's tax position and quantify the exposures that bear on price and warranties. The point of diligence is to change the deal where it should be changed.
Structuring
We design acquisition and disposal structures that are tax-efficient and robust. The right structure protects the value the deal is meant to create.
Step plans
We sequence reorganizations so each step achieves its intended treatment. In restructuring, order is everything.
Warranty & indemnity review
We align the warranties and indemnities with the tax risks identified, so exposure sits where it should. Diligence findings are only useful if they are reflected in the contract.
Integration
We handle post-deal tax integration and cleanup, so the acquired business is brought onto a sound footing. A deal is not finished when it closes.
Transfer taxes
We manage the duties and transfer taxes that arise on the transaction itself. These costs are planned for, not stumbled into.
How we work with you.
Our tax advisers sit alongside the M&A lawyers throughout, so a point that is both legal and fiscal is handled by both at once. Exposures are found before signing, when they can still be priced or protected against.
Our tax team runs the workstream and feeds directly into the negotiation, giving you one coherent view of the deal's tax position. You agree a price that reflects the value you will actually keep.
You are buying or selling a business.
You are reorganizing a group ahead of a transaction.
You need the tax risks priced into the deal.
Transaction taxation draws on Law No. 29/2023 "On Income Tax" and Law No. 92/2014 "On VAT", together with any transfer taxes or duties on the specific assets involved. Where the transaction is a notifiable concentration, competition clearance under Law No. 9121/2003 is also required, and our corporate team manages it alongside the tax work.
