EMEA Dbriefs - Post Merger Integration (“PMI”) – key considerations

M&A activity is thriving, with uptake across the market, and quickly and efficiently integrating large groups into existing operating structures post-acquisition is key. These transactions can generate significant shareholder value but require active management and input to do so. For the next session in this series, we discuss how to ensure IP, intangibles, transfer pricing, internal functions and integration costs are all proactively managed from the outset to efficiently integrate groups and realise efficiency gains as quickly as possible. This instalment addresses the main tax, legal and accounting considerations when integrating a businesspost-acquisition. We will discuss: 

• Early identification of potential tax costs and synergies arising from M&A and integration

• How to ensure robust Day 1 readiness for new structures

• Cross functional implementation workplans

• Establishing goals and timing to achieve key milestones and reduce disruption
• How to drive efficiency through comprehensive legal entity rationalisations
• Common tax, legal and accounting sticking points and obstacles
