Drawing upon 'very up to date knowledge across all relevant areas of tax law', the 'responsive and experienced' team at BSP is well-positioned to provide 'tailor-made and cost-effective' advice to public and private sector clients across a range of non-contentious and contentious matters. Vastly experienced team head Alain Steichen remains active on the fee-earning front alongside his duties as managing partner, and has a varied workflow that includes advice on the tax structuring pursuant to company migrations to Luxembourg, as well as an eclectic mix of tax controversy matters and negotiations with the relevant tax authorities. Steichen has also been involved in litigation related to the exchange of information, as has Pol Mellina, whose robust litigation practice also includes representing the Luxembourg State on VAT-related tax law cases. Gaëlle Felly advises on the tax implications of intra company restructurings and M&A matters, while Daniel Riedel is a 'very imaginative problem solver' across a range of domestic and international tax issues.
