Overview

Hager & Partners, with 110 professionals mainly in Bolzano and Milan, offers multidisciplinary advisory services across legal, tax, and strategic consulting. The firm supports clients in M&A, due diligence, real estate, tax controversy, and public fundraising, leveraging EU and national initiatives. Its legal department in Bolzano has over 10 experts. Through TP Advisory and TP & Funding Advisory, it specializes in transfer pricing, IP box regimes, and global expansion. Serving diverse industries, over half its clients are Italian entities of foreign-based groups, especially from Europe, the US, UK, and China, including listed companies and high net worth individuals. 

During the research period, the firm assisted a German client during the tax audit and the pre-litigation phase. In addition, the team assisted the client in all the tax aspects related to the change of tax residence, based on the article 24-bis of the Italian Tax Code (recently changed), which encourages individuals (in this case individuals who have lived abroad for at least 9 out of the last 10 years before moving to Italy) to move to Italy and become resident here to obtain tax benefits.
