An Overview of F Reorganizations in M&A Deals

By Steven A. Migala and Nathan P. Toy • April 14, 2025
A Type F reorganization (“F Reorg”), governed by Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code, provides a strategically significant mechanism for corporate restructuring. Defined as a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation,” an F Reorg permits a corporation to alter its legal existence while being treated for federal tax purposes as the same entity. This recharacterization allows for the uninterrupted preservation of tax attributes while maintaining shareholder continuity.

Transforming Chicago’s Housing Market: New Legislation and Opportunities for Property Owners

By Chance W. Badertscher • March 12, 2025
Recent legislative efforts in Illinois are reshaping the state’s approach to residential zoning, with significant implications for the housing market. A new bill, House Bill 1814, introduced last week, aims to eliminate single-family zoning in municipalities across Illinois. If passed, this bill will allow for the development of multi-unit buildings in areas currently zoned exclusively for single-family homes. This initiative, alongside a similar bill introduced last year, has the potential to address the state’s growing housing shortage and make housing more affordable for middle-class families.
