Deutschland > Steuerrecht > Steuerrecht

Baker McKenzies Themenkatalog umfasst die Unternehmenssteuerplanung, das Konzernsteuerrecht und die Transaktionsbegleitung, was zu regelmäßigen nationalen und grenzüberschreitenden Mandatierungen führt. Dieser Themenkonstellation widmen sich auch die beiden Praxisgruppenleiter Thomas Schänzle und Christoph Becker, während Schänzle zusätzlich in der Begleitung von Steuerstreitigkeiten und Betriebsprüfungen versiert ist und Becker zudem Umstrukturierungen begleitet. Ergänzt wird dies durch Expertise in den Themenblöcken Verrechnungspreise und Umsatzsteuer. Im Juni 2024 verlor man Jörg Hanken (Verrechnungspreise) an WTS und im November desselben Jahres den im Umsatzsteuerrecht erfahrenen Philipp Klinker an PwC Legal (PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal AG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft).
