Businesses require an intricate understanding of the full range of federal, state, and international tax issues that arise in structuring complex corporate transactions. Legal counsel can add significant value to these transactions by creating tax efficient structures and by providing both innovative and practical solutions to the corporate tax issues that challenge our clients.
Akerman’s Corporate Tax Practice Group develops tax planning solutions that help our clients achieve their business goals while using our knowledge of the corporate tax laws to advance the economic efficiency of transactions. Knowing and understanding a client's business and balance sheet allows us to appropriately balance corporate tax considerations with a client’s transaction objectives to achieve the best overall results. We routinely advise clients on the formation and maintenance of their chosen form of business entity selection, the various transaction alternatives for buying and selling of businesses, taxable and tax-free mergers and acquisitions, debt financings and restructurings, private equity financings, recapitalizations, redemptions as well as spin-offs, split-offs, and split-ups.
