Provided by Troutman Pepper

Troutman Pepper’s Tax practice provides sophisticated, practical, and business-sensitive advice on the tax issues that arise in planning and executing complex transactions, managing workforces, and running business operations. Our team represents some of the largest and mid-market private equity funds in sophisticated cross-border tax planning for global transactions, in domestic and international M&A, refinancing, repatriation strategies, IPOs, and management company transactions. Our attorneys assist portfolio companies of private equity firms in addition to public and private companies across various industries in their operations, restructuring, and dispositions, as well as tax planning. 

We provide the full range of corporate tax services, such as earnings and profits studies that are used by public companies to determine if a distribution is a taxable dividend, transaction costs commonly used by the portfolio companies of PE clients to support tax deductions for expenses incurred in transactions, and net operating loss studies to determine if a net operating loss can be used by a company.

Our attorneys represent large corporate taxpayers in controversy by managing audits resulting in successful conclusions. They also help develop novel approaches to manage aggressive tax claims by state and local governments with respect to both business and highly compensated executives.
