The firm’s tax activity is structured around five main areas:
- corporate taxation
- taxation of managers and entrepreneurs
- wealth and personal taxation
- taxation of foundations and non-profit organizations
- local taxations
- taxations of public entities
The tax team has developed solid experience in these areas, both in terms of advice and litigation. The team supports its clients by favouring a pragmatic approach to cases and by collaborating with the financial, accounting and legal teams. In particular, the tax team works very closely with the corporate law team to provide comprehensive solutions for its clients.
Our tax team is a member of the TPA (Transfer Pricing Associate). It intervenes in diverse and complex cases of international tax thanks to its network of foreign correspondents which it has developed for more than 20 years across Europe, the US and Asia.
