Legal, Tax and HR Considerations
Contributed by Baker & McKenzie, a Partner of M&A Leadership Council
Explore the recent uptick in corporate spin-off transactions with Baker & McKenzie and Bloomberg BNA. With a record-setting $250.9 billion worth of transactions completed globally last year, spin-offs – which are often touted as a way to increase shareholder value – have become an increasingly popular transaction. During our one hour kick-off webinar on August 3, Jeff Marks, Managing Director, Corporate Finance Advisor, JP Morgan and Baker & McKenzie partners Matthew Gemello and Kirsten Malm highlighted what’s driving the spin-off trend, and how markets view spin-offs. The discussion continues at our full day event in New York on September 29 where Baker & McKenzie lawyers, activist investors, investment bankers and analysts will take a deep dive into the commercial challenges associated with executing a spin-off, and the complex array of nuts-and-bolts challenges, from financial accounting issues and tax considerations to board responsibilities, investor engagement, and HR sensitivities.
