Tax
litigation

We assist clients during tax audits, accounting reviews, personal tax examinations, and desk audits. Our involvement includes analyzing requests from the authorities, preparing detailed and reasoned responses, negotiating with tax inspectors, and challenging reassessment proposals.

We anticipate potential reassessment risks, structure exchanges with the authorities, and safeguard our clients’ positions. This proactive approach limits tax exposure and helps prevent escalation into formal litigation.

Tax searches require immediate action to protect the rights of those concerned. We intervene on an urgent basis during investigative operations, assist executives and employees during questioning, challenge procedural irregularities, and ensure proper handling and preservation of seized documents.

Our knowledge of procedural safeguards and experience in investigative contexts help protect fundamental rights and mitigate the consequences of these intrusive measures.

We represent clients at all stages of administrative tax proceedings, including preliminary claims, hierarchical appeals, and appearances before tax commissions. Our strategy is aimed at securing full or partial relief from contested assessments through robust legal and factual argumentation.

Where appropriate, we also negotiate settlement solutions with the tax authorities when they better serve our clients’ interests. Mastery of administrative procedures maximizes the prospects of success and reduces the risk of escalation.

We represent clients before all courts, including administrative courts, courts of appeal, the Conseil d’État, and criminal courts. Our expertise covers disputes relating to the assessment, calculation, or collection of taxes, as well as prosecutions for tax fraud.

In coordination with our white-collar crime team, we provide a comprehensive defense in matters combining tax and criminal issues. This integrated approach ensures strategic consistency and optimal protection before tax and criminal authorities.
