“The best of all taxes is the smallest.”
– Jean-Baptiste Say
Few people choose the most taxing option when it comes to choosing between several possible solutions.
In an increasingly complex and restrictive tax environment, I am committed to supporting and reassuring my clients, both legal entities and individuals, in their development, in the various aspects of their activities and the related tax implications.
What drives me?
Making taxation understandable and accessible to my clients, as a vehicle for growth rather than an imposed constraint.
My clients become partners whom I have the pleasure of supporting in their development, but also in situations that are sometimes more delicate.
Expertise
With over 25 years’ specialised experience in tax law (advisory and litigation) and wealth management strategies, I have developed proven expertise and know-how to safeguard your projects and defend you when necessary.
I am involved in the tax structuring of corporate transactions for the firm’s M&A teams.
I assist my French and foreign clients in developing and implementing tax strategies, anticipating and managing tax audits.
- Tax aspects of transactional matters: structuring acquisitions and disposals, tax audits of acquisitions and disposals, mergers and acquisitions, partial asset contributions, LBOs, etc., private equity transactions, restructurings, unwinding.
- Taxation and asset structuring: day-to-day support for executives and individuals, particularly in their asset taxation, incorporation, management, planning and (re)structuring operations.
- Structuring of real estate transactions: commercial or residential real estate: definition of the structure for holding and managing assets, tax implications, restructuring, transfer, optimisation.
- Tax audits and litigation: management of audits and resolution of disputes: assistance and representation before the various tax authorities and administrations, filing of appeals before the administrative and judicial courts, assistance and defence in tax fraud litigation.
I head up the Tax department, which works closely with the firm’s other teams, such as M&A, Employment and Litigation, offering cross-functional support and optimal, simplified handling of our clients’ issues.
