Taxation of transactions

Helping you to create value through strategic transactions (external growth, assignments, employee share ownership schemes, etc.)

Carrying out capital transactions (acquisitions with or without leverage, assignments, corporate restructurings, joint ventures, financing and refinancing, etc.) represents a means for boosting or refocussing a corporate group's business or its growth. Completing these transactions is however becoming increasingly complex in an unstable economic context, and a legal and fiscal environment that is shifting and uncertain. 

With their perfect knowledge of the market, the applicable French and international tax rules and standards, and current tax practices, our teams guide you in your strategic reflection about the transactions you are planning, how to ensure an efficient and secure fiscal tax structure, negotiating them with the different players involved, and implementing them quickly and efficiently. 

One hundred years of outstanding expertise

Our firm has a well-founded reputation in tax law, and with its close-knit international CMS organisation stands out due to its expertise in completing transactions. Our firm can depend on the negotiating techniques of its experienced teams and their capacity to work on mid & large cap transactions to guide our clients at every stage of their transactions. Our lawyers can cover high-added value areas in structuring capital transactions (transfer pricing, value added tax and payroll tax, local taxation, etc.). 

Strategic guidance

Our experts in transactional taxation offer tax solutions that will meet your needs and create value, whilst foreseeing and limiting the risks associated with the transactions carried out. In this way, our lawyers ensure the performance and durability of your projects. They work smoothly and closely with firm's M&A and financing teams.
