Corporate Reorganizations

Global enterprises may be motivated to reorganize their worldwide tax and legal structure for a variety of reasons. For example, to fully realize the value anticipated from a strategic merger or acquisition, a global enterprise must quickly reorganize and integrate its combined business operations from a tax and legal perspective.
 
On the other hand, a fully integrated global enterprise may be forced to swiftly realign its worldwide structure in order to effect a strategic spin-off or disposition of business operations that the management no longer deems desirable or essential. Finally, a global enterprise may wish to reorganize its worldwide structure to accommodate a down-sizing or transformation of its existing business operations or simply to generate tax and legal efficiencies that will contribute to its overall earnings per share. 
 
Whatever the objective, to be truly successful, a global reorganization must be structured in a manner that not only optimizes the ultimate tax position of the enterprise but also addresses a multitude of legal issues that arise as a result of the restructuring. 
 
For more than 50 years, Baker & McKenzie has been advising global enterprises reorganizing their international operations. Our corporate and tax lawyers have a wealth of experience working together to assist multinational enterprises in structuring and restructuring their domestic and international transactions and operations.
