Firm overview

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). We translate the developments into our impact on clients' business and are focused on identifying tailor-made solutions. Our international relations with other acknowledged, independent tax advice and law firms provide for fast and efficient access to high-quality tax or legal advice in countries where we have no office.

In addition to the TP advisory practice on transfer pricing policies of internationally operating clients, the TP team provides integrated solutions on all relevant transfer pricing issues. Their major services include advice on strategy, audits, dispute resolution, documentation and financial transactions.

Firm overview

We accompany entrepreneurs and companies in all tax matters in the national and international environment. We already have the civil law implementation in mind during the planning phase.

As certified tax experts, we are practitioners with a quality certificate. A special guarantee for quality in tax consulting is experience. We have a great deal of that.

We advise clients on a variety of business law issues at all levels (planning and implementation). Since we are lawyers and tax experts, we have both legal and fiscal aspects in mind. We are used to thinking not only as lawyers, but also as entrepreneurs.

We advise clients in all aspects of private and public binding law, from planning through project development, construction, acquisition, financing and operation, to the sale of real estate.

Our clients have an experienced notary for comprehensive services. As a result of the approval in the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, we can handle all land register transactions in these cantons.
