About Me

As head of our Tax Group in France, my practice covers the full spectrum of tax advice and tax litigation assistance to our clients, with significant expertise in cross-border group reorganisations and M&A.

I am a highly experienced corporate tax lawyer with deep expertise in the tax aspects of both domestic and international groups in various industry sectors such as engineering, healthcare, chemicals and distribution.

In this context, I have supervised and coordinated multi-disciplinary teams from different countries on major transactions or business development projects, and aim to combine expertise with an operational vision focused on the effectiveness of the recommended solutions.

I provide audit services and advice for tax efficient structuring in relation to M&A transactions.

I also advise shareholders on the optimisation of their personal tax burden, especially in relation to the sale or transfer of their assets.

I assist my clients in relation to tax audits or tax litigation, focusing on high-profile and complex matters relating to tax avoidance, and have a strong track record in achieving favourable transactions with the French Tax Authorities.

As part of my role in leading the Tax Group in France, I am responsible for growing the wider tax practice with a particular focus on the technical excellence of our tax experts and our ability to work on multidisciplinary projects with our colleagues across the firm.

I am a regular conference speaker and a lecturer on the Financial Engineering Master's course at EM LYON.
