Tax

A&O Shearman’s UK tax practice advises on complex domestic and international tax matters across the full range of corporate and financing transactions. The team has extensive experience advising on the tax aspects of public and private M&A, joint ventures, capital raisings, capital markets and structured finance transactions, as well as private equity, funds and other private capital investments, real estate transactions and restructurings.

Sitting at the centre of the firm’s global platform, the London tax team regularly leads sophisticated, multi‑jurisdictional mandates, working closely with colleagues across Europe, the U.S. and Asia to deliver integrated, commercially focused tax advice on high‑value cross‑border transactions. The practice acts for multinational corporates, leading private capital sponsors and institutional investors, and tier‑one financial institutions on matters spanning the full deal and business lifecycle.

The team is also at the forefront of advising clients on the implications of evolving international tax frameworks, including OECD Pillar Two, supporting multinational groups and financial institutions in navigating increased complexity, regulatory change and global tax reform. Clients value the team’s ability to combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic, commercial approach, particularly on transactions involving multiple tax regimes and jurisdictions.
