Get in touch

We work with some of the fastest growing and most exciting businesses in the world, but rapid growth, especially in a quickly changing international tax environment, can present complex challenges as well as opportunities. Our international corporate tax team includes Australia, Japan, Singapore, Luxembourg, Italy, US and UK qualified lawyers. Their extensive knowledge and experience will help to ensure your situation is made easier.


We have decades of experience in supporting start-up, growing and established businesses, and as a full-service firm we are able to take a holistic approach in assisting you. In an increasingly digital economy, managing intellectual property is a critical aspect of most businesses and we work with our intellectual property colleagues to do that in a tax-efficient way. 

Our team regularly advise on the application of double taxation agreements. 
 

Global advice across a range of sectors

We work with clients across a range of sectors including retail, real estate, hedge and private equity funds (on both the buy and sell sides), fashion, technology, hospitality and luxury brands. It's a point of pride for our lawyers to 'speak your language' – by which we mean that we understand your industry and the broader climate in which you operate. We apply this real-world knowledge to find the most effective tax arrangements for your business.

Finally, our extensive experience means that whatever your situation, we will usually have seen something like it before. We can give insight into what the tax authorities will expect from you, and how similar businesses manage their arrangements around the world. Our practical advice will help you to manage challenges and take advantage of opportunities.
