Dentons provides tax services throughout Europe, with the German branch of the European tax business accounting for the lion's share of revenue. With four offices across Germany, the team covers all taxes issues, both local and international. Michael Graf is a partner and co-head of the European tax practise in the Frankfurt office.

The firm recently assisted the French investment manager Advenis Real Estate Investment Management on the acquisition of the Offenbach office building and another in Düsseldorf for the Eurovalys Fund. In addition, the team advised Q-Energy Tax on five large wind farm purchases in Germany, including thorough tax due diligence and purchase agreements.

While partner Andreas Berberich and associate Konstatin Ecker joined the firm during the research period, senior associate Philipp Scharenberg also departed.
