Practice Areas

Tax Matters

Businesses inevitably engage with tax authorities, and such interactions can often lead to disputes, administrative challenges and complex litigation.

Paying all taxes does not always guarantee peace of mind.

If you believe that the actions or decisions of the tax authorities are unjustified, we provide comprehensive legal support, including:

  • Support during tax inspections
  • Legal analysis of tax audit reports
  • Challenging decisions and actions of tax authorities, including administrative appeals against tax assessment notices
  • Preparation of procedural documents and representation in tax disputes before courts

Corporate Matters

Corporate relations and business activities are, by their nature, carried out at risk. We believe that risk should be managed properly — with professional legal support.

To help minimise unexpected risks and resolve conflicts arising in corporate disputes or between business entities, we offer a range of legal services in corporate and commercial law, including:

  • Company formation and ongoing legal support for businesses of all organisational forms, including mergers, acquisitions and liquidation

We have extensive legal experience in insolvency, restructuring and bankruptcy procedures. Our team provides comprehensive legal support at both the pre-litigation stage and throughout all stages of court proceedings, including:
