Tax law

About the practice

We offer comprehensive tax advisory services to our clients. Our support encompasses Polish and international tax law, focusing on income tax, VAT, real estate tax, civil law transaction tax, and excise tax. We assist clients through daily advice and by preparing opinions and memoranda on complex legal and tax issues.

We also represent clients in tax audits and proceedings, customs and fiscal audits, administrative court cases, and enforcement actions. Our lawyers have a proven record of winning numerous cases, often setting precedents and involving multi-million dollar awards.

We also advise on the tax aspects of transactions – both capital (share deal) and regarding assets (asset deal), including real estate. We support clients at every stage of the transaction, including conducting tax due diligence, advising on developing a tax-efficient transaction structure, participating in the creation of transaction documentation (letter of intent, PSPA, SPA, R&W), and in negotiations. We have experience advising both investment funds and industry investors, as well as sellers from various market sectors.

We assist clients with the tax aspects of business structure reorganization, including company transformations, divisions, and mergers. We advise on creating effective holding and financial structures, ensuring tax security and protection against tax risks.

We also provide guidance on the succession process to optimize its tax efficiency. We have experience advising on family foundations, including their formation and registration. We also represent clients in numerous tax criminal cases. Our experience includes defending clients at every stage, from interviewing witnesses to defending suspects before the prosecutor and financial authorities, and representing the accused in court. Our lawyers have consistently achieved acquittals or reached amicable settlements.

We also assist companies in developing internal tax procedures that reduce the risk of tax and criminal tax liabilities.

We also advise on aspects of international trade, including customs law and sanctions regulations, and help clients ensure their compliance with relevant rules.

Our strength is in combining tax expertise with experience in other legal areas, such as corporate law, criminal tax law, and labor law. This enables us to thoroughly address tax issues and present strong arguments in disputes with tax authorities.
