Baker McKenzie
We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
Transactional tax matters are at the heart of Baker McKenzie's practice and also represent the focus of both practice heads Thomas Schänzle and Christoph Becker. The group is therefore regularly entrusted by multinational companies and strategic investors in the mid-cap and large-cap segments to advise on issues relating to M&A transactions and restructuring; however, the team also assists with corporate and international tax planning, transfer pricing, VAT and tax disputes. Jana Fischer is a key contact for the latter area, while the practice's VAT capacities were strengthened with the arrival of Philipp Klinker from Flick Gocke Schaumburg in October 2022.
