Death and taxes may be certainties in life, but so is the top-notch advice granted by our tax department. Biris Goran is regarded as having one of the top tax practices in the country - a unique offering given that few firms are able to offer tax advice at international standards. Thus, when representing our clients, our tax group regularly collaborates on all transactions, and thus we are able to keep everything “under one roof” to ensure standard, business-oriented and cost-effective advice to achieve the client’s goals.
Given the business environment in Romania, having qualified tax advice is particularly important to a successful investment. And we can advice on all aspects of it. Our tax practice is geared to assisting our clients in the planning and structuring of tax efficient multi-jurisdictional, cross border transactions, as well as optimally resolving tax-related controversies. Our attorneys and tax consultants have extensive experience in matters involving, among other things, tax treaties, inter-company pricing, in-bound and out-bound investments and transfer of property, branch interest /profit tax and permanent establishments.
We also provide sophisticated tax planning to high net worth individuals. Our practice also includes assisting our clients during tax inspections and providing comprehensive assistance in solving any tax disputes with the authorities at all levels.
The 2009 edition of Chambers Europe had this to say about the group:
Universally acclaimed as the market leader, Gabriel Biris is saluted by peers for being “almost single-handedly responsible for all the standard documentation in the field.” Clients note that his performance matches his formidable reputation. Moreover, he has built a tremendous practice of real depth around his own strong credentials. The firm provides advisory and restructuring advice, and also tackles the incidental tax issues arising from its own transactions, which include the largest real estate deal to date in the local market. The innovative establishment of a separate tax consultancy entity means the team now has the capacity to offer clients, including foreign investment funds and significant Romanian corporations, a comprehensive service unrivalled by any firm outside the top band.
The 2009 edition of PLC Which lawyer? also gave Gabriel the only “Highly recommended” rating among all tax lawyers in Romania.
Because of its expertise, members of Biris Goran’s tax group appear regularly in both television and print media as experts.
Our tax practice is led by Gabriel Biris and Ruxandra Jianu*.
