Taxation (Family Business) 

Taxation plays a key role in the domestic and international structuring of the investments and assets of family businesses and their family members, as well as in securing their transfer to successive generations in an efficient, secure, smooth and sustainable manner.

In an increasingly complex, uncertain and competitive world, the choices made regarding the tax structure and geographic location of a family business, the tax residence of its family members, and the jurisdictions in which their assets are held, their business is conducted and their investments are made, are ever more important, whether in the context of the individual or the family business.
