Tax Audit & Tax Litigation (Companies & Managers) in France
Tax audit lawyer for companies and managers. In cooperation with a former tax inspector (15 years of experience). Accounting audit and ESFP assistance (staff). Dispute, redress and court litigation.
A unique force: The Alliance of the Lawyer and the Former Inspector.
Faced with the Administration, mastering the law is not always enough; you have to understand the psychology and methods of the adversary. Our firm has developed a global expertise in administrative litigation, whether it is a question of dealing with the Repression of Fraud (DGCCRF) or the Tax Services.
To offer you the best possible defense during tax audits, I work closely with a former Inspector of Public Finances (15 years of experience in the Tax Administration).
This synergy brings you:
- The “Decoding” from within: We anticipate the auditor's reactions and understand the administration's targeting logic.
- The Global Strategy (Company & Manager): We simultaneously protect the company and the manager's personal assets (ESFP), which are often jointly targeted.
- Procedural Rigor: As with our DGCCRF files, we track down the slightest procedural defect (Taxpayer Charter, deadlines) to have the adjustments cancelled.
- Realistic Negotiation: We know exactly how far the administration can go in the remission of penalties or the transaction, because we know its internal leeway.
