Client feedback

"Loyens & Loeff is extremely responsive, a pleasure to work with, and most of all, they are gold-star experts in the area of Lux, Dutch and Swiss tax.  I have utter confidence in the advice they provide and their ability to provide accurate, practical recommendations to clients. They are very well-connected and have good insights as to how to interact with the tax authorities (both at the national and subnational levels), whether in the ruling process or in a tax controversy setting.’’ 

They communicate very well in both written form and on calls, and I have no reservations about putting them in front of clients and trust them to handle the thorniest of tax issues in a methodical, logical way.  They explain tax concepts in a way that is extremely knowledge with digestible recommendations.   

This clear communication is essential in the world of tax planning, where my job is not only to help clients understand the non-US tax consequences of transactions, but also to help solve problems and enable clients to accomplish their business goals in a tax-efficient manner."
