One client praises Baker McKenzie Switzerland SA‘s tax team for its ’strategic thinking, reliability and dedication.’ The practice is led by Kilian Perroulaz, who advises on the legal aspects of M&A and is particularly experienced in corporate restructuring, tax planning and general tax law for domestic and international clients. A key part of the team, Susanne Liebel-Kotz, is recognised for her strength in both Swiss and German tax law, assisting with M&A and real estate tax matters. With recent additions of Sylvain Godinet who arrived in November 2024 from PONCET TURRETTINI Avocats and Raphaël Matthys, formerly of PwC Switzerland, in January 2025, the firm continues to strengthen its expertise across international tax, M&A, reorganisations, and tax accounting.
