Baker McKenzie has a strong presence in the German tax industry, with a team of professionals addressing all domestic and international taxation sectors, including private clients, VAT, transactional tax and tax controversy. Christoph Becker, who specialises in tax planning and M&A taxation, as well as tax disputes, has led the team since 2014. The transfer pricing practice is made up of 13 lawyers, tax advisers and economists, including three partners. Stephan Schnorberger and Florian Gimmler constitute key members of the transfer pricing team.

The firm recently delivered the review and redesign of the global transfer pricing model of a large chemical manufacturer. In addition, the team aided a leading global energy provider in restructuring the group's internal financing.
