International Tax Law

The internationalization of medium-sized enterprises has accelerated significantly in recent years. As a result, tax complexity has increased markedly, and tax authorities around the world are competing more aggressively for the tax base, creating substantial risks of double taxation. To counteract this, it is essential to develop appropriate concepts and tax-planning strategies early on, in coordination with foreign advisors.
