Tax

The multinational law firm has extensive experience operating in the Middle East and has an established tax practice offering a full tax service in the UAE. The practice strives in cross-border income tax support and planning, indirect tax, tax litigation and disputes, transfer pricing, and legal opinion. Senior counsel Reggie Mezu heads the tax practice with the support of tax partner Tina Hsieh who joined the team in November 2022. In addition, director Folkert Mulder leads the transfer pricing practice.  

Case studies show the team provided tax advice to Air Carbon on the disposal of its shareholdings in the acquisition by UAE wealth fund Mubadala.
