Businesses continue to need to manage operating costs and tax positions, as well as contain costs. In today’s evolving commercial, economic, and regulatory environment, entity restructuring may help achieve these goals.

Our practitioners have gained substantial experience in managing various multidisciplinary reorganizations, including:

• Post-merger integrations
• Legal entity reductions
• Pre-acquisition restructurings
• Carve-out restructurings
