Global Tax Structuring and Business Alignment.
countries served
through the our connection with the Leading Edge Alliance (LEA)
Businesses with existing and growing global footprints need to implement and maintain their legal and operational structures. The alignment of legal, operational and tax entities is critical to the success of a global structure. We assist our clients with the evaluation of their existing and growing structures to help improve effectiveness and to mitigate inefficiencies.
As our clients consider expansion into new markets and territories, we work closely with them to anticipate and plan for the challenges that they will face. Working closely with LEA member firms, local law firms and other advisors, we build and collaborate with a tailored team that will work to position our clients for success in a new market.

Meaningful tax incentives for U.S.-based manufacturers still exist. We work with our manufacturing clients to evaluate their specific facts and circumstances in order to determine whether they may benefit from these incentives. Specifically, your business might benefit from the Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation, or “IC-DISC”. IC-DISC is a mechanism by which certain manufacturers can obtain a significant tax benefit. Despite being subject to a very complex set of rules, if set up properly and appropriately, the IC-DISC can become an important part of a manufacturer’s global structure.
