Our Corporate Reorganizations practice merges innovation with expertise, guiding multinational clients through the complex landscape of internal restructuring and integration transactions with precision and effectiveness.

Our team is co-led by seasoned tax attorneys, who advise on the most tax-efficient approach to a wide variety of transactions, such as internal reorganizations, spin-offs and pre- and post-acquisition integrations, and corporate attorneys who advise on the structure, documentation and timely implementation of the project steps. The team deftly navigates clients through complex domestic and international corporate reorganizations to help companies simplify organizational structure, consolidate ownership of assets in a particular business division, restructure intercompany debt, streamline regulatory compliance, eliminate dormant entities and maximize tax efficiencies. We serve clients with U.S. and international subsidiaries and understand the unique challenges raised in cross-border transactions. We work seamlessly with accountants and global legal and tax advisors to optimize the transaction structure. Our centralized leadership team ensures that each project is managed seamlessly to meet the client’s timeline for project completion.
