When you’re executing and implementing a merger, acquisition, disposition or restructuring, you need sophisticated tax advice on the transaction.

Having a clear view of the target’s tax position and understanding key tax issues are essential to a successful transaction. That’s why solid tax advice should be a component of any transaction support you seek.  For example, is the target a flow through entity?  If so, numerous opportunities exist using a partnership or LLC to maximize the benefit of future deductions.  Will certain target owners and management receive or retain an interest in the target business?  How will the disguised sale rules and issuance of compensatory interests in the target business affect the overall tax result of the transaction?    

When you work with RSM McGladrey, we help you uncover hidden tax consequences, identify and mitigate risks, maximize opportunities for you and the target business and structure the deal in a tax-efficient manner. Our dedicated tax professionals can assist you with all tax-related aspects of your next acquisition or restructuring, including the following.

• Choice of entity
