Deal Advisory Tax provides market leading services to both Corporate and Financial investors. We have teams focused on clients in four key markets: Corporates; Private Equity & Credit; Real Estate; and Energy & Infrastructure. We are a national and connected team, working and learning with each other.

• Asset Management: We work with Private Equity, Infrastructure, Renewable/Energy transition, and Real Estate Funds, as well as institutional investors such as Sovereign Wealth Funds and Pension Funds.

The Deal Advisory Tax team provides advisory services across the whole deal spectrum including buy-side due diligence and structuring, sell-side vendor assist and vendor due diligence, refinancing, and listing support. Deal sizes can be anywhere from £10m to +£10bn.

We help our clients understand and quantify historical tax issues, structure transactions, model tax considerations, and reflect our advice in the legal documents underpinning each transaction, all with a continuous focus on maximizing value throughout the investment cycle.
