M&A | Corporate Structuring

Tax and legal advisory for mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructuring

Tailored transaction structuring and group reorganisation

Cross-border M&A tax planning and due diligence

Post-acquisition alignment and integration support

Strategic tax advisory for corporate and private groups

Mergers, spin-offs, group simplifications, and acquisitions are not template exercises. Each configuration depends on dozens of moving parts — from tax, legal, and operational angles — all of which shift across jurisdictions, governance models, and group histories.

This is where LS2P intervenes: not to advise in the abstract, but to engineer legal architectures that align with operational realities — across borders, down to the last compliance detail. Our work spans planning, execution, and follow-up, including the coordination of in-house teams and external advisors when needed. What sets our practice apart is not scale — it's structural depth. We design frameworks that reflect the specific ambitions of the groups we support and integrate each structural variable into a high-performing whole.

Our team has engineered complex restructurings from both sides of the table: as tax director within multinational groups, and as legal architects advising them. We don't guess what might work — we build what's already been proven under fire. When there's only one shot at getting it right, experience becomes the decisive edge.

These operations rely on foundational tax architecture work to provide lasting fiscal coherence and legal stability, both immediate and multi-generational.

Every transaction demands a tailored, end-to-end approach.
