Tax Tier 3
Arsene ranks among France’s leading independent tax boutiques. The firm has a very deep bench of practitioners and is able to offer the full range of transactional and advisory expertise, including corporate tax, transfer pricing and VAT matters. The firm is regularly involved in large LBO, M&A and property transactions. It notably assisted Laboratoire Filorga with its acquisition by Colgate-Palmolive. Managing partner Denis Andres is highly recommended, as is Frédéric Donnedieu de Vabres. Other key names include Alexandre Rocchi and Brice Picard in corporate tax, as well as François Lugand, Franck Llinas and Stéphanie Hamis for real estate tax. Antoine Glaize heads the firm’s transfer pricing team as well as Taxand’s global transfer pricing and business restructuring practice. VAT expert Nathalie Habibou made partner in January 2020.
