Loyens & Loeff is an internationally based independent full-service law & tax firm having a 100-year track record of international (corporate) tax advisory services with top (international) tax specialists and corporate lawyers, regulatory lawyers and civil-law notaries.

Our tax experts have extensive experience in international taxation in a broad sense, which is more extensive than just the taxation in our four home markets (including EU and OECD tax rules). They translate the developments into their impact on clients' business and are focused on identifying tailor-made solutions. Our international relations with other acknowledged, independent tax advisers and law firms provide for fast and efficient access to high-quality tax or legal advice in countries where we have no office.

The full tax team consists of more than 354 lawyers and economists from different practice areas, such as corporate tax, VAT, customs, litigation and competition from various offices, serving clients in all kinds of sectors.

The team can play an important role in the connections between the Belgian, Dutch, Luxembourg and Swiss markets and foreign based clients.

As the team is convinced that TP is intertwined with most tax issues, their approach is to fully integrate their TP expertise in this field with Loyens & Loeff's other tax and legal practice teams. The firm provides integrated solutions on all relevant TP issues, including strategy, documentation, audits and dispute resolution, to clients. Partner Peter Moons leads the Loyens & Loeff TP team in Luxembourg.

For state aid issues, which regularly also include TP issues, Loyens & Loeff is very well equipped due to its integrated approach, including a legal approach.
