Investment funds and private equity taxation

Investment funds and French or foreign entrepreneurs planning growth, financing, refinancing, or divestiture operations operate in an unstable environment marked by numerous legal and tax reforms. In this context and given the importance of tax issues for acquisitions and divestitures, we assist you in defining and implementing effective and innovative solutions that anticipate risks, ensuring the success of your projects. 

Front line guidance at every stage of your transactions

Our team of lawyers, who are well-renowned in their field, can advise and assist you with the tax aspects of the various stages of your M&A, private equity, financing or LBO operations, management packages and investment fund taxation, both in France and abroad. To foresee all of the potential risks and offer full support for your strategic transactions, our lawyers work in close collaboration with the firm’s other teams and draw upon our international organisation CMS to offer you the benefit of specialist expertise on a global scale.  

Extensive knowledge of the market

Our know-how, nurtured by our close relationships with key players in the field, means that we can provide you with the guidance you need to make your strategic and tactical decisions with the utmost legal certainty. 

More generally, we guide management companies about the taxation issues they encounter and assist them in the context of structuring funds and complying with tax quotas when these structures are intended to be eligible for certain mechanisms.
