Our clients represent a wide range of industries, and we particularly excel in energy sectors, including renewables, offshore and technology, real estate, and property development. We possess extensive expertise in all aspects of tax, with a particular focus on corporate taxation, encompassing international tax, transfer pricing, MAP/APA, transactions, and restructuring. This includes special tax regimes for petroleum companies, aquaculture, shipping companies, and energy production.

When it comes to transactions and IPOs, we are regularly part of CMS Kluge's M&A team. Our role, for instance, includes designing remuneration and incentive models, as well as drafting and negotiating tax clauses in transaction agreements.

For decades, we have litigated numerous tax cases, including several high-profile ones before the Supreme Court, addressing issues such as transfer pricing, the relationship between owners and companies, and the borderline tax avoidance/evasion. We are typically engaged at the administrative appeal level, which we consider vital for preparing the case for a potential court suit.

We have significant experience with private clients. We advise individuals, families, their advisors, and family offices on a broad range of legal and tax issues related to national and international wealth, inheritance, and succession. As strategic advisors, we bring years of experience, expertise, and international capacity.
