Cabinet Dechamps advises you on your international tax and tax criminal law matters.
Technical, precise and unforgiving, taxation is a high-level sport. It is also risky, even dangerous, and must be handled with method and rigour.
Maître Maximilien Dechamps
The firm has chosen two areas rather than a general tax practice. International tax and tax criminal law share the same demands: high technicality, high stakes, and procedures in which an early mistake is hard to undo. The two often meet in practice, since a mishandled cross-border matter can end up before the criminal judge.
Every matter begins with a written analysis of the situation and a detailed fee agreement, before any commitment. Exchanges with the firm are covered by legal professional privilege, including vis-à-vis the tax authorities. Consultations take place at the firm, in Paris, or by video conference, in French, English and German.
