Tax
Medium-sized and large companies, funds and fund managers, investors, growth companies and private individuals instruct YPOG to assist with tax matters arising in the context of transactions and investments, as well as with tax planning and tax disputes. Clients particularly benefit from the team's expertise in digital assets, which is regularly incorporated into advice on blockchain-based projects and cryptocurrencies. The practice is led by Malte Bergmann in Hamburg, who primarily handles transactional tax matters; the partner appointment of the Cologne-based Florian Oppel in January 2023 underlined the importance of the group's tax succession advice.
