Transaction Tax

We advise fund managers, investors and corporates on the tax considerations arising across complex transactions. Our Transaction Taxes team brings together technical depth and commercial insight to support informed decision-making, manage risk and minimise tax leakage throughout the transaction lifecycle. As part of our transaction tax support, we provide:

Fund Investment structuring

We advise on the tax-efficient structuring of funds and portfolio investments, including entry, holding and exit strategies. Our approach is tailored to the investment strategy, asset class and jurisdictional footprint, ensuring structures are robust and aligned with regulatory and stakeholder expectations.

Tax Due Diligence

We perform transaction tax due diligence for acquisitions, disposals, investments and restructurings. Our diligence focuses on identifying key tax risks, value drivers and deal sensitivities, enabling clients to assess pricing implications, negotiate protections and plan effectively for post-transaction integration.

Transaction Structuring and Execution

We support clients with transaction structuring, re-organisations and implementation. Working closely with deal teams and other advisers, we help translate structuring concepts into practical, executable solutions that stand up to scrutiny and support commercial objectives.

Management Incentives and Remuneration

We advise on tax-efficient remuneration and incentive arrangements, including carried interest structures and management incentive plans. Our advice balances tax efficiency with governance, regulatory and investor considerations, supporting alignment between management and stakeholders.
