Tax Strategies for Corporate Acquisitions, Dispositions, Spin-Offs, Joint Ventures, Financings, Reorganizations & Restructurings 2023

This three-day program from November 15-17, 2023, will focus on the tax issues presented by the entire spectrum of modern major corporate transactions, from single-buyer acquisitions of a division or subsidiary to multi-party joint ventures, cross-border mergers, and complex acquisitions of public companies with domestic and foreign operations, including spin-offs and other dispositions of unwanted operations.

After completing this program, participants will be able to:

• Identify key risk allocation issues when negotiating and drafting provisions in acquisition agreements
• Evaluate the relative merits of taxable transactions versus tax-free reorganizations and spin-offs, and identify when it is best to employ one transaction over another
• Understand the impact of the new corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) and the share repurchase excise tax on M&A transactions
• Leverage the tax benefits of using partnerships, and other passthrough entities, in joint ventures or as acquiring entities
• Employ tax efficient strategies in the acquisition of loss companies
• Understand the impact of new and evolving rules on cross-border acquisitions and restructurings
• Recognize, and learn to avoid, the ethical pitfalls you may encounter when providing tax opinions and recommending return positions
