Tax
The tax group at Arnold Bloch Leibler is ‘highly capable' and 'extremely component'. The practice is a popular choice among high-net-worth individuals, family groups, large corporates and not-for-profit organisations. The team is regularly instructed on a range of matters, including advice on tax audits and disputes, M&A transactions and large-scale corporate restructurings. At practice head level, Mark Leibler leads from Melbourne and draws on more than 40 years of experience; Paul Sokolowski, also leading from Melbourne, is an expert in federal tax matters; and well-regarded corporate and international tax expert Clint Harding leads from Sydney. Jonathan Ortner is a key contact for the taxation of trusts in Sydney, and Shaun Cartoon is a key contact for employee share schemes in Melbourne.
