Tax
Charles Russell Speechlys
Although it continues to pick up a growing volume of work structuring investment platforms and advising on downstream transactions for asset management firms, the ‘super-agile and practical’ team at Charles Russell Speechlys remains best-known for its tax advisory and structuring work in the context of private/family capital. Here the team, which is headed by the ’insightful and experienced’ Yacine Diallo, impresses with its ability to ‘innovate and provide tailor-made solutions’ and to navigate complex dynamics associated with business families and succession planning. The ’outstanding’ Alexis Urbin-Choffray is also recommended for handling private wealth and fund structuring, as well as providing ‘strategic and pragmatic’ assistance with compliance in line with regulatory/legislative changes.
