These transactions can generate significant shareholder value but are usually highly complex to deliver, both commercially and from a tax and legal perspective. For the next session in this series we discuss some of the key structuring considerations we are seeing, both in the UK and internationally. This second instalment addresses the main tax and legal considerations when designing the structure for a carve-out. What are some of the common practices and pitfalls? We’ll discuss:

• Typical carve-out structuring whilst maintaining flexibility
• Structing into a joint venture – common structures and reliefs
• International tax considerations to be alert to
• Key legal considerations on a carve-out

Later Dbriefs will cover specific topics, such as transitional service agreements and transfer pricing, finance and treasury in more detail.
