Able to change his point of view when necessary and to do the necessary research to get out of what might seem like a dead end to others.

‘I particularly appreciate working with Benoît Gréteau, who is very involved in cases and close to the management. He manages complex M&A deals and sensitive tax litigation with expertise and agility, and provides hands-on solutions to any kind of issue.’

‘The tax team is made up of highly experienced lawyers complemented by more junior colleagues whose input is noteworthy. As a client, you feel the unity of a team where each member who makes it up has their place.’

‘Benoît Gréteau is a tax partner whose agility deserves to be highlighted. He understands tax matters from 360 degrees by mastering corporate and personal taxation with the same degree of excellence.’

‘In terms of expected characteristics but which are very effective I would say availability and follow-up. More specific to Veil is the fact of not involving the client more than necessary and especially the capacity to use the multidisciplinary resources of the firm to deal with the subject matter – a real plus especially since we do not have to complain or repeat things.’
