Corporate Tax

Our approach

We support our clients—whether companies, associations, or foundations—in all their tax-related matters, from the tax optimization of income and assets to the implementation of incentive schemes, as well as their acquisition and disposal transactions.

Our outsourced tax department approach ensures precise and optimal handling of the matters entrusted to us. Our partners, with their extensive experience, enable us to provide our clients with comprehensive and high-quality support.

Our main services include :

  • Drafting of legal advice
  • Assisting corporate groups with their day-to-day tax matters
  • Assisting in the frame of exceptional transactions (acquisitions, disposals, mergers, restructurings)
  • Implementation and monitoring of tax integration
  • Tax rulings
  • Acquisition audits (“tax due diligence”)
  • Tax structuring of acquisitions and disposals
  • Implementation of incentive and employee ownership plans (including schemes and sub-schemes for foreign free share plans, management packages, manager companies, etc.)

In support of the success of your strategic vision, we assist you at every stage of your projects, whether in their structuring, implementation, or development. Combining an operational approach with optimized solutions, our services strike a balance between legal certainty and performance.

In order to provide you with the best possible long-term support in achieving your growth and value creation objectives, we do everything possible to gain a deep understanding of your business, on-the-ground realities, and the operational challenges you face. Based on this assessment, we deploy a tailored legal framework, providing precise and efficient recommendations designed to protect and sustain your business while fostering its growth.

Thus, we position ourselves as a business partner who transforms challenges and constraints into new opportunities for value creation.

Our international experience in managing large-scale projects also enables us to provide pragmatic support for your operations, ensuring comprehensive oversight of your needs.

We also stand-by you in the event of litigation. In this context, we assess each situation on a case-by-case basis in order to determine the best strategy to adopt, not systematically recommending court proceedings, but favouring alternative dispute resolution methods when appropriate.

In an especially complex and constantly evolving environment, we stand out as a leading player, capable of assembling, at short notice, the most suitable teams to skilfully meet your requirements and diligently ensure the implementation of your projects.
