The Tax department assists our clients with all of their transactions, whether corporate or in connection with wealth planning, both in terms of advice and tax disputes. The tax team manages to provide practical and clear solutions to curb tax leakages in the context of complex corporate and individual matters.

Private Equity and Management Packages

We benefit from first-rate experience of tax structuring of both domestic and cross-border corporate finance transactions, in particular private equity transactions that involve the implementation of management packages. As a result, while we are also familiar with the main aspects of tax legislation of the foreign countries in which our clients operate, we rely on a network of trusted international partners.

Advising family shareholders and decision-makers as well as their groups, whether listed or not, the support we provide in tax matters is fully integrated into the firm’s other areas of practice, in particular corporate, which is involved in these transactions.

A pioneer in areas such as advising the managers of groups undergoing LBOs, our firm is renowned for its ability to provide new and reliable solutions. Our in-depth knowledge of tax matters and private equity transactions also allows us to combine our technical expertise with a pragmatic approach our clients can understand, providing them with prudent tax and financial arbitration when structuring these transactions.

Wealth and Estate Planning

We provide advice to our client base of French and international individuals, directors and family shareholders as well as wealthy families on inheritance and the tax structure of their assets, whether these include shares in groups, financial assets, property assets, or other asset types.

To achieve this we rely on our in-depth knowledge of tax matters, our familiarity with tax legislation in the main European countries, and a network of trusted partners to provide support to our clients in all aspects of inheritance taxation.

We fully include the legal, succession and financial elements of wealth management transactions, where necessary with the help of notaries and private bankers, in order to offer our clients comprehensive wealth management solutions that suit their situation.

Corporate Tax Planning

We benefit from widely recognised expertise in tax support for directors and family shareholders as part of tax management of their groups and when structuring their groups’ strategic transactions.

The actions we take with regard to tax are therefore fully integrated into all of the firm’s other areas of practice – corporate, employment and disputes – that can be involved in group management and their strategic operations.

With a high level of familiarity with the accounting and financial mechanisms used by businesses, we have also developed in-depth knowledge regarding both company and personal taxation, allowing us to combine a cross-disciplinary approach to companies’ tax management and tax strategy solutions with an approach that takes any implications of these transactions for their shareholders and directors into account.

Tax Investigation and Litigation

Our audits and disputes tax practice is the natural extension of our other areas of work.

We are consequently renowned for our abilities to assist individuals and companies to identify risks and prepare for checks by tax authorities as well as during audit operations and, if required, resolving tax disputes through negotiations or legal proceedings.

To achieve this, we build on a keen sense of anticipation and strategy, as well as our in-depth technical knowledge of tax and legal procedures, to provide an accurate analysis of the risks prior to a tax adjustment and to support our clients robustly and creatively in order to resolve any dispute in their best interest.
