Our Tax attorneys work closely with our Private Equity & Venture Capital Practice in advising on a wide range of tax issues confronted by private equity funds, venture capital funds, and hedge funds. Our experience includes the taxation of financial products, debt instruments, options, derivatives, and other structured products and transactions. We regularly advise fund clients on M&A deal structures; the tax aspects of portfolio company investments; recapitalizations, acquisitions, and divestitures; IPOs and follow-on offerings; and the use of special purpose vehicles, such as offshore holding companies and other alternative investment vehicles. We also routinely provide guidance with respect to the structuring of investments by pension plans and foreign investors.
