We are particularly focused on cross-border trade between North America and Europe, assisting U.S. and Canadian firms that seek to expand into Europe; and European companies that want to do business in North America. But we also have extensive experience supporting our clients with the tax implications of trade into Australia, Latin-America, Africa, the Middle-East, and Asia, and from there into North America.

We pride ourselves of being able to provide Tax advisory services at the highest standards of excellence and to internationally operating enterprises of all sizes. 

Together with our affiliate network of independent tax lawyers and consultants, we partner with our clients to ensure that cross-border transactions are structured in a tax efficient way.

Our managing partner, Dr. Robert F. van Brederode, is a tax lawyer who practiced on both sides of the Atlantic for over 30 years. As a former Big 4 partner and in-house counsel to a Fortune 50 company he understands how crucial it is to consider tax implication prior to making important business decisions. Robert is specialized in International Tax and VAT/GST. 

Services

We partner with you to ensure that your international expansion is a success and that tax issues will not become a showstopper. Tax obligations are part of the equation when doing business in a new jurisdiction and need to be assessed in the early stages of the planning process when the supply chain is still in the design phase and thus somewhat flexible. Our starting point lies with your business objectives. We learn your business, your culture, your ambitions. Then we go to work. You hire us as a tax consultant; we adopt you as a client. We are your business partner for tax.
