INTERNATIONAL TAX LAW
In their activities as well as in the value they create, it is not just businesses that nowadays are globally positioned and maintain subsidiaries, joint ventures, establishments, representative offices or merely a sales organization in foreign markets. Many private individuals as well are internationally mobile, have multiple residences or hold assets in a variety of countries around the world.
Thus, many of our clients operate in a number of un-harmonized national tax systems each of which makes its own claim for taxes against the taxpayer.
In this environment, we particularly advise making (inbound and outbound) cross-border investments, company purchases and reorganizations with the participation of the foreign legal systems, transferring functions abroad and, most of all, relocating companies and individuals in foreign countries and bringing them back home. Besides structuring such projects, we prepare legal opinions, act as intermediary and negotiate with tax authorities and, of course, also enforce our clients’ claims in judicial proceedings, arbitration and mutual agreement procedures.
For this work, we are able to access an international network of independent tax law attorneys as part of our ALLIOTT alliance and the friendly relationships with other firms that we have established over the course of many years.
