Frequently Overlooked Dangers During an M&A (Webinar)

Corporate mergers and acquisitions involve many complex areas of law and regulations, but they also give rise to many operational challenges, even if the transaction itself is executed flawlessly. Without proper planning, at least two areas of concern – business licenses and property tax – may create dangerous predicaments that consume the tax, legal, and accounting departments. At a time when everybody is toasting the signing on the dotted line, these departments may instead find themselves struggling with locations that aren’t allowed to remain in business, products, and services that can’t be sold, returns that need to be filed in new jurisdictions, and property assessments that must be appealed.

In this webinar, experts at Avalara will lay out key operational strategies that companies should utilize before, during, and after an acquisition. Armed with this knowledge, attendees will be ready to:

• Plan ahead for shifting of property and resources to avoid incurring unwanted property tax
• Assess the risks associated with business license noncompliance
• Recognize the challenges associated with property taxes and communicate with assessors
• Develop strategies to minimize dangers to a company’s business continuity
• Create a cohesive strategy for executing an M&A that can be utilized cross-functionally across multiple key departments
