Tax
Real estate, including assisting institutional real estate investors and developers, is the cornerstone of Clifford Chance‘s tax practice, though the firm's offering in M&A tax restructurings and domestic and international tax disputes is equally strong. The team is built around Alexandre Ooms, who combines standing household tax advisory roles for well-known investors with expertise in private equity transactions and tax litigation. Stijn Van Walleghem and Thomas Linard de Guertechin support with broad corporate tax, private equity, and criminal tax law experience.
