About CMS

Select your region

Compliance with the ever-stricter tax regulations in Austria and abroad is becoming more challenging, especially in a cross-border field of activity. 
Our approximately 350 lawyers also include experienced tax experts who keep themselves abreast of all the developments in tax law and tax policy that might affect your business. 
Our multidisciplinary approach helps you build strong structures that align with your business strategy in order to maximize your tax efficiency. 

Legal & Tax from one source - Always one step ahead

We offer you legal and tax advice from a single source so that you can significantly reduce your consultancy costs. We support you in transactions, criminal financial proceedings, tax audits, dealing with the tax authorities and tax proceedings.
The automatic exchange of information between tax authorities and new reporting obligations (DAC 6 Directive, Commercial Owners Register) are current challenges – we provide comprehensive advice and support you in adapting your internal processes to the new reporting obligations.
