Amar Hamouche also provides 'pragmatic and solutions-oriented advice' on corporate and international tax structuring for funds on their downstream investments (as well as on management incentive arrangements), in addition to a considerable volume of tax structuring associated with structured capital markets transactions. Antonio Weffer heads up the firm's transfer pricing sub group and often handles applicable work for funds, multinational corporates and financial services firms.
