We bring the right people and the right technology together, to explore more possibilities and deliver sound, holistic advice across the legal, tax, regulatory and financial disciplines. Our well-rounded expert support helps you find and capture value, all the way through the deal to integration. 

We also deliver deep insight across sectors. Our PwC team includes industry specialists who understand the nuances of each issue, whether they relate to health care, energy, IT, automotive, manufacturing or more. By working with an integrated team, you can maximise the efficiency of your transaction processes, and focus on matters that make the most difference to your business.

Structuring and documentation

You need a structure that is tax effective, legally compliant and operationally efficient. We can guide you there. 

We take a multidisciplinary approach to structuring and drafting M&A transaction documents. As a single, integrated provider, PwC can help you consider the risks and opportunities in your documentation, without letting details falling through the cracks. You need a trusted partner that can help you manage risk through multiple lenses. That’s what we do.

Our expertise goes beyond borders, reaching you wherever you need us. With nearly 1,000 M&A lawyers across the world, plus an extensive network of broader tax, legal and consulting specialists, our global team is seamlessly connected by technology and committed to helping you thrive.

Wherever we operate, we deliver purpose-driven and focused practitioners whose advice is tailored to the broader economic, political and societal contexts. Leveraging our Centres of Excellence, we also bring the efficiencies and outcomes that you would expect from a well-rehearsed transaction partner.

End-to-end support

We have the expertise to support the entire lifecycle of your transaction, from preliminary considerations and information memoranda to tech-enabled due diligence, contract negotiation, transaction structuring, warranty and indemnity insurance, merger control, SPA documentation, closing and post-deal integration. We make sure your deals bring value to the organisation, and protect your investment by ensuring regulations, tax and other issues are accounted and planned for.

Our holistic approach removes blind spots, so insights and issues are spotted efficiently. Get in touch today to understand how PwC can support your next M&A transaction.
