Tax

Tax is a major issue for individuals and corporations, who have to deal with increasingly complex and changing regulations at both national and international level. This calls for first-rate tax expertise, in order to secure their operations and assist them in case of tax audits realized during mergers & acquisitions or restructurings, as well as in case of tax audits conducted by or litigations against the tax authorities.
