- Tax modeling: assistance in modeling the tax effects of transactions, including assisting in tracking the cash and non-cash steps in fund flow
- Vendor assistance: preparation of vendor side documentation and tax advice on the tax implications of the sale of a business, including pre-deal reorganization measures and settlement of historic tax risks
