Franco-German Taxation

Our expertise for your strategic operations

France and Germany are a major economic axis in Europe. Merger and acquisition, and more generally restructuring, investment and cross-border financing transactions involving entities in the two countries give rise to complex fiscal issues that require a complete mastery of French and German law, the France-Federal Republic of Germany Convention and European Union law. These issues apply equally to companies and individuals, particularly company directors and investors. 

Bilateral expertise with high added value

Our French lawyers who are bilingual in German, work closely with French-speaking lawyers from CMS Germany on all cross-border issues. Their in-depth knowledge and their experience in Franco-German matters allow them to offer bespoke solutions to strategic challenges.  

They assist companies of every size in both markets, in all their operations, as well as individuals with revenue or assets in both countries, advising them particularly on how to pass on their estate in a cross-border framework. 

Integrated guidance for concrete results

Our Franco-German teams combine an understanding of business issues, fiscal expertise and an international vision. Our lawyers guide you at every stage of your projects with their proficiency in external growth, restructuring, international flows, inheritance, cross-border revenue, etc. to make the most of your opportunities and secure your operations on both sides of the Rhine.
