Every option costed, legally and fiscally.
Preferential regimes, tax ruling if needed, timetable.
Agreements, reports, resolutions and minutes.
Filings, publication and post-transaction follow-up.
Preferential regimes, treatment of tax losses, registration duties, tax consolidation: we cost every scenario before drafting the first document. You decide knowing the real cost of the transaction.
Most of the time, yes. Mergers, demergers and hive-downs can benefit from a preferential tax regime that neutralises immediate taxation of capital gains, provided its conditions and undertakings are met. We check them from the design stage.
When a company owns 100% of a subsidiary, a universal transfer of assets allows it to be absorbed without a merger agreement. A merger is sometimes still preferable: the right choice depends on the timetable, the creditors’ position and the tax consequences.
Depending on the transaction, from a few weeks to a few months. Statutory deadlines, such as filing the draft or creditor objections, set a timetable that we build from the outset.
