On December 11, 2025, Cravath partner Andrew T. Davis participated in “Tax Strategies for Corporate Acquisitions, Dispositions, Spin‑Offs, Joint Ventures, Financings, Reorganizations & Restructurings 2025,” a program presented by the Practising Law Institute from December 10‑12 in Los Angeles. The program reviewed the tax issues presented by major corporate transactions, including single‑buyer acquisitions of a division or subsidiary, multi‑party joint ventures, cross‑border mergers and complex acquisitions of public companies with domestic and foreign operations. Andrew spoke on a panel entitled “Impact of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”) on M&A Transactions,” which explored the CAMT rules and consequences for taxable and tax‑free acquisitions and dispositions, including spin‑offs, and reviewed the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income and other key issues addressed or unaddressed by IRS guidance.
