Tax Lawyers

---

Three of our partners are Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. Our team has represented leading global clients in seminal tax litigation and advised on the tax dimension to numerous transformative corporate and financial transactions and commercial arrangements. We advise on every variety of federal (chiefly income, capital gains, import duty, value-added tax and stamp duty), state and local government tax.

We work closely with tax consultants who may not be lawyers as the occasion may arise. We are active on aspects of tax that are typically not the focus of tax accountants -- for example, court litigation, advice on the constitutional aspects of taxation, the actual drawing up of agreements to achieve given tax goals and assessing and working around the rules on taxes payable to company and land registries. As lawyers, our communications with our clients enjoy legal privileges against disclosure that communications involving other professionals may not enjoy.

Our work extends to:

• constitutional authority to impose, assess and collect taxes
• tax litigation and administrative proceedings
• tax law opinions and advice
• tax investigations and audits
• filing and prosecuting applications for tax exemptions and relief
• tax law reform
• the tax structuring of mergers, acquisitions and other corporate re-organizations
• the taxation of foreign investors and investment
• the tax aspects of perfecting security for debt
• transfer pricing reporting and re-characterization issues
• the tax structuring of petroleum acreage and real estate asset acquisitions
• the tax structuring of commercial contracts for goods and services
• the taxation of expatriate remuneration
• the taxation of trust structures
• the taxation of collective investment schemes
• the tax aspects of securitization structures and debt offering transactions
• the tax regulations for withholding tax and other “deductions at source”
