Provided by YPOG
YPOG advises clients in all respects of an investment cycle, group structuring and ongoing tax matters. Clients are large corporates, funds and fund managers, investors, growth companies, private clients (HNWI) and medium-sized companies. The team advises on transactions/investments, (international) tax planning and tax filings in certain cases. Furthermore, blockchain-based projects and clients in connection with crypto-token continue to form a growing part of the practice. YPOG combines expertise in transactions, funds and digital assets tax advice.
YPOG tax advise includes all aspects of transactional tax advice: tax due diligence, structuring and SPA advice. Key clients are, for example, BPE, Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners (DTCP), Project A and KKA Partners, who rely on YPOG for all transactions.
Tax advice is also an integral part of YPOG's fund formation (structuring) and fund taxation (ongoing tax matters) practice. The team provides tax advisory services to large international private equity fund structures (e.g., Triton, Hg Capital, Oakley Capital and General Atlantic) and smaller domestic private equity funds (e.g., DUBAG and KKA) by focusing on German (tax) aspects.
YPOG further advises corporates not only on fund related tax matters, but also on digitalisation and spin-off projects (e.g. Porsche Digital). Due to YPOG’s strong reputation in the venture capital sector, the firm is set as one of the leading tax advisors for such venture projects.
