Supporting you through complex tax challenges with expert, global strategies

We provide strategic tax advice to our clients, in particular on their transactions, disputes, and investigations. Leveraging our technical expertise and commercial acumen, we help you navigate evolving tax landscapes, manage risks, and seize global opportunities.

At Freshfields, we help you navigate a rapidly evolving international tax landscape. Our global tax team offers practical advice on issues ranging from international group structuring, managing tax risk on major transactions to tax policy and compliance. We provide insights that deliver clarity and confidence.

We work with you to design effective tax strategies for your most complex transactions. By integrating our expertise with that of our multidisciplinary teams, we help you structure deals – from public and private M&A to joint ventures, demergers, and corporate reorganisations – that unlock real value and minimise tax risks.

At the same time, we are well-versed in managing the increasing scrutiny from tax authorities around the globe. We support you through tax investigations, audits, and disputes – providing tailored advice from the initial information request through to litigation, settlement, or arbitration.

By collaborating closely with our corporate and dispute resolution practices, we deliver solutions that protect your interests and resolve challenges efficiently. Our tax specialists work seamlessly with Freshfields’ corporate, disputes, antitrust, financing, and IP teams – as well as our StrongerTogether partner firms – to deliver cross-border solutions for your most complex tax challenges.
