About

Provided by Katten

Katten's Transactional Tax Planning group—with lawyers in the United States and London—provides advice on a wide range of corporate and partnership transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, investments, debt and equity raises, fund formation, real estate development and joint venture transactions, and financings. Our team coordinates tax, corporate and legal planning for companies, banks, investment funds, private equity firms and families in the United States, Europe and throughout the world.

We take into account business needs, reporting required for generally accepted accounting principles, corporate and securities law issues, and regulatory matters. We become involved in private equity and venture capital transactions at an early stage to evaluate the tax and other legal implications of such transactions. We assess both the intended and unexpected potential tax consequences and risks of new financial products to structure transactions for companies and individuals. We efficiently address the tax consequences for mergers and acquisitions, and represent both founders and investors in structuring domestic and multinational start-up businesses and venture capital investments to take advantage of the many benefits offered by tax laws.

From capital markets to real estate, Katten's Transactional Tax Planning group offers buyers, sellers and investors proficient, creative tax advice and planning consistent with their business plans and fiscal goals.
