Tax

We advise companies and management teams on a wide range of corporate tax matters, including the following areas.

Corporate

We advise on the tax aspects of corporate transactions, including private company acquisitions and disposals, joint ventures, corporate restructurings, private equity transactions and EIS/SEIS investments. The inclusion of specialist tax lawyers in deal teams ensures that the documentation is drafted in a way that facilitates the achievement of tax objectives.

Employee incentives

We advise both companies and senior executives on the structuring of a full range of incentive arrangements, including Enterprise Management Incentive (“EMI”) options and more bespoke equity-based arrangements, including growth shares.

Real estate

We work alongside Rosetta Tax to advise on the tax aspects of real estate transactions, including SDLT, VAT and capital allowances and the tax issues affecting real estate funds (including REITs).

Finance

In conjunction with Rosetta Tax we advise on the tax issues arising in connection with loan facility agreements (including offshore lenders), ISDA contracts and asset finance (including securitisation structures and asset leasing agreements).

Our specialist in these areas is Carol Buchanan.
