In Davis Polk’s mergers and acquisitions practice, tax lawyers, working closely with their colleagues in the firm's Corporate Department, have played major roles in structuring and negotiating many U.S. and international business combinations, spinoffs and other divestitures.

Our Tax Department has been at the forefront of innovation in mergers and acquisitions, pioneering techniques for complex spinoffs and spin-mergers, dual-listed corporate structures and tax-free expatriation transactions.
