Local taxation and tax litigation

Our department is particularly renowned for its expertise in tax matters, both for companies and individuals and their assets.

We offer pragmatic solutions and respond to all our clients in a timely manner.

We are intricately familiar with a forthright approach to the authorities and administrations (requests for early decisions – tax adjustments – formal or informal contacts, etc.), and we also handle the defence of our clients in contentious procedures (administrative and legal).
