Selected experience
Selected matters are published in anonymised form, with due regard for client confidentiality.
We reviewed the client's tax position, reassembled the supporting documentation, recalculated the tax liabilities and prepared an amended tax return and an appeal.
Following the acquisition, we advised on board and shareholder meetings, major and related-party transactions, financing and security arrangements, and the restructuring of the group in accordance with the existing shareholders' agreement.
We conducted comprehensive due diligence on the target, advised on the transaction documentation and completion, and subsequently restructured the corporate governance arrangements.
Acting for the creditor, we advised on the restructuring of the outstanding debt and its subsequent sale to a strategic investor.
For a family of business owners, we designed an investment holding structure through a closed-end investment fund and coordinated the establishment of the fund structure, engagement with the fund manager and transfer of assets into the fund.
The company was denied a refund of substantial statutory payments on the grounds that it was allegedly liable as the successor to another entity. We established in court that there were no grounds for such succession and protected the company's right to a refund.
The tax authority disallowed substantial depreciation expenses for equipment used in intensive operating conditions. Before the court of cassation, we established the company's right to apply a special depreciation regime reflecting the equipment's actual operating conditions.
The tax authority denied the company input VAT deductions because some costs had not been funded exclusively from its own resources. We demonstrated in court that the source of funding does not, in itself, prevent the taxpayer from claiming the deduction where the statutory requirements are met.
We represented a company in a multi-issue dispute following a field tax audit. The case concerned several taxes and the recognition of particular expenses and liabilities. We successfully challenged part of the additional tax assessments and secured an outcome that was upheld by the court of cassation.
The tax authority challenged the company's VAT deduction for costs incurred on a major project partly funded from external sources. We established in court that, where expenses are properly documented and actually incurred, the financing arrangements do not prevent the deduction.
