Deal structuring

In addition to providing advice on the transaction itself, our Tax team is experienced in collaborating with accountants and funders to determine the most suitable structure for private equity or venture capital transactions. We have successfully developed structures that optimize the potential for management to succeed, while also offering a well-defined exit strategy for investors or institutions.
