Plesner's tax law department is market-leading when it comes to litigation. We conduct the biggest and most complex cases; starting with the first proceedings involving the Danish tax authorities to the National Tax Tribunal, then the courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union, if necessary.
Our track record is unique. No other Danish law firm has been as successful as Plesner in so many important tax cases. Many of the cases are test cases and subsequently result in the reopening of corresponding cases as well as statutory amendments or changes in administrative practice. Through the years Plesner has greatly influenced legislative developments.
To us, tax litigation is a creative process in which it is necessary to think differently. The solution is often found in similar disputes in other legal fields. Tax litigation therefore also requires a great deal of knowledge about other legal fields. We focus on the details but keep a broad perspective.
To conduct and be successful in a tax case require first of all considerable litigation experience. Plesner has the biggest and most complete team of highly specialised tax litigators.
In no other legal field is the difference between being right and being proven right as great as in tax law.
When Plesner has accepted a tax case, the case will benefit from the reputation enjoyed by Plesner, not only with the Danish tax authorities but also with the courts, which means that Plesner's arguments will be taken seriously.
