The success of a corporate transaction can be assured by having tax professionals working with you. Our CMS Cameron McKenna team has a global perspective on tax, understanding different regimes across Europe, where we have locally recruited professionals, and in the United States. Both large companies and high net worth individuals receive a high level of service to ensure your tax affairs run smoothly, as getting the right tax advice, at the right time, can make a material difference to the costs of a transaction and in some cases can avert serious consequences. Our experienced team has hands-on experience and works with our colleagues in other legal disciplines, aligning ourselves across the firm’s sector groups.

We provide the full range of tax lawyer advice, from bespoke cross-border structuring to drafting and negotiating tax indemnities to helping fill out VAT forms. Our CMS organisation gives you access to like-minded tax advisors throughout Europe and beyond.
