Tax

Today's business world is teeming with pressures. The need for innovation and growth to stay competitive. Increased cross border activity. Heightened regulation. Not to mention the challenging tax environment. Complex tax rules. More tax transparency. Authorities acting on mandates to protect the tax base. A backdrop of media attention.

You need clear, pragmatic tax advice to navigate this world. You need measured advice, combining invention and prudence appropriately. You need advisers who are one step ahead. You need the Hogan Lovells Tax Team.

We are one team, no borders. A team with an enviable global reach, covering five global regions and with true strength on both sides of the Atlantic. 

And we're different — a combination of lawyers, accountants, and economists gives us a team with the breadth and depth of knowledge you need in dealing with tax. From tax consulting to transactional tax advice, from tax optimization to tax valuations, from legislative guidance to tax audits and disputes. You can trust us to get it right. By being involved at all stages — planning, implementation, and review — we help eliminate risk.  

We pride ourselves on our industry knowledge with practical experience in a wide range of sectors. We understand your business levers. We also draw on the skills of other members of our top-class sector teams so that you have the complete advice you need, when you need it.
