The following strengths and areas should be emphasized


Team News:

- Successes in lateral hiring over the last 12 to 24 months have led to a further substantial strengthening of the German tax group in the areas of transaction tax, VAT and and transfer pricing advice, particularly at the Frankfurt and Munich offices.

- Strengthening in the area of VAT law: Philipp Klinker joined our team in Frankfurt in October 2022. He advises on all aspects of German and European VAT law. His focus is on advising companies in the financial services and real estate sectors. His work includes the preparation of expert opinions, applications for binding information, support in tax audits, conducting appeal proceedings and providing VAT advice in M&A transactions and intra-group restructurings.

- Continuous expansion in the area of transfer pricing: Baker McKenzie's German transfer pricing practice has grown significantly over the last three years, both in terms of the number of new tax advisors, lawyers and economists added and in terms of the breadth of expertise.
