The Stonefield Josephson Tax Group offers an array of mergers and acquisitions consulting services to public companies and privately held businesses. Our structured and disciplined approach provides clear, strategic objectives, detailed implementation plans, and a focus on creating and capturing value throughout the M&A life cycle—from idea inception and initial due diligence through structuring and integration. Whether making an acquisition, disposing of a non-core business or going through a merger, we can offer you experienced deal structuring and financial advice and ensure that your company manages tax risk and optimizes future net cash flows.

If you are considering M&A activity, you no doubt have questions: Should the acquisition be structured as a taxable or non-taxable transaction? What's the best type of tax-free transaction that should be used to accomplish the parties' individual goals? Should the transaction be structured as a stock or asset acquisition? What is the ideal way to maximize the use of any net operating losses of the business being acquired? Careful tax planning and our collaboration with clients and their financial and legal advisors will produce creative, mutually beneficial solutions that minimize your tax liabilities and maximize and accelerate your tax benefits.

Stonefield Josephson goes beyond simple verification of the target company's assets. Our team approach helps you structure a transaction that enhances your position while minimizing risk. We help you identify potential opportunities and hazards. The Stonefield Josephson Tax Group can present an analysis of various after-tax scenarios. We investigate potential liabilities to evaluate loss contingencies. We help you determine whether outside parties are in a position to fulfill contractual obligations.

Our extensive experience gives us a keen eye for uncovering the facts quickly. In short, our consultative approach provides you with a thorough understanding of the financial affairs at hand.
