Because structure and planning matter when buying a business.

Increasingly, successful mergers and acquisitions benefit greatly from planned structuring of the acquiring business entity to optimize its gains, while limiting what it must or will relinquish. Most businesses have been developed purely for operational and financial purposes, and as such have taken on corporate traits are not beneficial to an optimal merger or acquisition. These elements therefore should be appropriately modified or divested to better facilitate this highly particularized business action.

By working with knowledgeable professionals who are experienced in the intricacies of M&A work, the business ownership can realize far greater short and long term success from the proposed transaction. Without taking such planned preliminary actions, the business will invariably short-change itself in the acquisition process and thereby miss out on opportunities that will curtail the true value of the transaction. Strategic planning of the purchaser's structure, among other strategies that an insightful M&A lawyer brings to the table, should be of paramount importance.

With recent developments in corporate and tax laws and legislation, the structural arrangements and strategic decisions need to optimize these recently enacted advantages, such that a preferable outcome might be achieved from the particular transaction. Making lasting corporate decisions based on out-dated structural arrangement can prove highly counter-productive, especially where a more advantageous route is available in the structuring of the transactional arrangement.
