Overview

Valente Associati GEB Partners / Crowe Valente is a premier Italian firm offering legal, tax, transfer pricing, and strategic consulting services. A member of Crowe Global, the firm is known for its expertise in tax planning, litigation, corporate restructuring, and international taxation. With 70 professionals, including ex-Big 4 experts, it serves multinational corporations and SMEs. The firm is recognized for its strength in MAPs, APAs, and complex negotiations. Managing Partner Piergiorgio Valente is a leading authority in tax and governance at national and international levels. 

During the research period, the firm provided comprehensive legal and tax representation in a highly complex €15 million transfer pricing dispute involving an Italian entity and two foreign-related entities. In addition, the firm played a critical role in a complex cross-border tax litigation, successfully advising and representing a multinational taxpayer in a dispute over 90% administrative penalties imposed due to missing contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation, despite a Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) settlement for the 2012–2014 tax years in Italy.
