Firm overview

As a specialized tax boutique firm based in Munich, Lemaitre Professionals LP TAX advises German and international financial investors from the private equity and venture capital industry, tech companies as well as ultra high net worth individuals (private clients) and family offices.

LP TAX is managed by Claus Lemaitre, tax consultant, specialist consultant for international tax law and Certified Family Officer (FvF) and Julia Leibig, tax consultant and specialist consultant for international tax law and has a team of 10 experienced professionals.

Claus is a recognized tax expert in his specialist areas and is one of the few tax advisors recommended by Best Lawyers (and Handelsblatt) for tax law in Germany. Julia has made a name for herself in the family office industry through the tax management of renowned, well-known and large single family offices.

The fully digitized LP TAX offers complex structuring and enforcement advice as well as traditional services (tax compliance services) such as the preparation of tax returns, annual financial statements, reporting, financial accounting and payroll accounting. Thanks to LP TAX's profound industry know-how and expert knowledge, clients receive an individualized and pragmatic service from experienced experts using state-of-the-art IT infrastructure. The USP of LP TAX is the combination of the specialist and industry expertise of larger consulting units (limited to the specializations of LP TAX) with the partnership-based, trusting and long-term advice of an experienced, motivated and powerful team of a smaller tax firm.

LP TAX and its professionals have excellent international networks thanks to long-standing, tried-and-tested relationships with leading tax boutique firms in all the world's major business centers.
