Restructuring a US group's global tax position

The challenge. A US technology manufacturer expanding into Asia faced overlapping tax exposure, uncertain transfer pricing and the risk of double taxation on intercompany royalties across four jurisdictions.

Our approach. We mapped the group's value chain, reviewed applicable tax treaties and redesigned its intercompany agreements. We prepared transfer pricing documentation aligned with OECD guidelines and IRS requirements.

The outcome. The client adopted a defensible, treaty-based structure, secured withholding tax relief on cross-border payments and entered audits with complete documentation and a clear compliance calendar.

Financing a cross-border acquisition in Tokyo

The challenge. A European investment group planned to acquire a mid-sized Japanese manufacturer. The deal needed multi-currency debt financing, lender security over assets in two countries and regulatory clearance under foreign investment rules.

Our approach. We coordinated with local counsel, negotiated the facility agreement and intercreditor terms, and structured the acquisition vehicle. We also handled foreign exchange and investment filings ahead of signing.

The outcome. Financing closed on schedule with security packages enforceable in both jurisdictions. The client completed the acquisition without regulatory delay and with a clear post-closing reporting framework.

Resolving a supply chain dispute in Shanghai

The challenge. A North American retailer faced a dispute with its Chinese supplier over defective goods, delayed shipments and unclear governing-law clauses, with significant inventory and contracts at risk.

Our approach. We reviewed the contract chain, assessed arbitration and litigation options and negotiated with the supplier. Where needed, we prepared the case for arbitration in a neutral forum and coordinated evidence collection.

The outcome. The parties settled on commercial terms that preserved supply continuity. The client received compensation, a revised supply agreement with clear dispute-resolution clauses and stronger quality controls.
