Tax Litigation & Complex Disputes

Tax litigation and complex business disputes.

Litigation

A core part of the firm’s practice.

From the tax audit to the tax court, from the commercial dispute to the protection of company assets, the firm handles litigation at every stage.

Managing litigation calls for a perspective that takes into account not only the procedural issues, but also the economic, organisational and reputational consequences for the business.

In tax matters, deadlines are short and strict: it is advisable to contact the firm as soon as an audit report, a draft assessment, a notice of assessment or a payment notice is served.
