Tax Law

Regardless of whether you are a company, a group of companies, an entrepreneurial family or a private person – taxes are incurred and tax issues arise wherever business activities are carried out. From tax reform to tax reform, tax laws are becoming increasingly more complex and more difficult to understand. Our tax experts have a wealth of experience and excellent interdisciplinary knowledge in all areas of taxation and can help you to optimise your business processes from a tax perspective.

We combine a thorough analysis of existing structures with foresighted and prudent planning and can advise you comprehensively on all tax aspects. We ensure that you are advised by competent and experienced professionals who always find and implement the best economic solutions to your entrepreneurial questions within the multidisciplinary environment of our law firm.

Our experts have excellent knowledge in all matters pertaining to company taxation, tax structuring and advice on M&A transactions, inbound and outbound investments, and the elaboration and implementation of strategic tax structures. In Germany, Europe and Asia, our team works closely with colleagues from other areas of practice, such as corporate law, employment law, real estate law, white-collar crime and criminal tax law, litigation and dispute resolution, or business succession. If a matter requires tax know-how in third countries where we do not have an office of our own, we rely on our worldwide network of partner law firms.
