Tax Aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions

This course provides an in-depth analysis of the tax considerations that are critical to the structuring, negotiation, and execution of corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Participants will learn how the tax framework can significantly alter the valuation and viability of a deal, examining the differences between taxable and non-taxable transactions. The curriculum covers key areas such as due diligence, structuring choices (stock versus asset deals), post-acquisition integration, and the treatment of corporate attributes like net operating losses. Mastering these complexities is essential for professionals advising on or executing M&A activity to optimize shareholder value and mitigate tax risks.
