Sabine Sardou is a highly-reputed specialist in international tax transfer pricing with more than 20 years of experience under her belt.

Sabine's specific focus is on defence, strategic tax planning and documentation work. Her recent assignments include corporate conversions into low-risk structures (limited-risk distributors, agents/commissionaires and consignment manufactures); advance pricing agreements; permanent establishment issue resolution; extensive negotiation with the French tax authorities through tax audits and tax litigation and successful tax defence memos regarding management fees, complex structuring (consulting services), and loss-making distributors.

After 20 years of transfer pricing practice in the international tax department of Big 4 law firms, including PwC, EY and for the last eight years, as a transfer pricing partner of Taj, the French member law firm of Deloitte, Sabine recently joined the very well-known international law firm, Bird & Bird.
