Overview
The breadth of Mayer Brown's tax practice is matched by few other law firms. We currently have more than 100 tax lawyers in ten offices worldwide. Chambers and Partners recently described our practice as having outstanding strengths in both tax controversy and planning.

Our tax practice covers every aspect of corporate, partnership, and individual taxation in the United States and in Europe, including taxation of cross-border transactions and state and local issues. It comprises specialized subpractices in transactions, consulting and planning, audits, administrative appeals and litigation, and government relations. Our clients include 65 of the Fortune 100 companies.

Ranked among the top ten law firms in the world, Mayer Brown has lawyers in the Americas, Asia and Europe. 

Our transactional and consulting tax practices include partners located in five United States offices, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. Our practice covers nearly every type of business transaction and restructuring, and is internationally recognized as one of the leaders in a number of areas.

Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions
Mayer Brown has had representation in many major corporate mergers and acquisitions, and is regularly involved in a wide range of domestic and cross-border restructuring and related planning.

European Practice
In Europe, our tax practice is widely based. We have considerable experience in corporate mergers and demergers, corporate structurings, financial matters, real estate transactions, and investment funds both retail and institutional. See below for the German tax practice.

Government Relations
We regularly work with the IRS national office, the Treasury Department, and the staff of tax writing committees with respect to regulations, legislation, private letter rulings, closing agreements, and similar matters.

Bankruptcy and Financial Restructuring
We represent lenders, equity investors, and debtors in complex financial restructuring transactions and workouts, both pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings and out-of-court agreements.

Banking, Financial Products, and Securitization
We regularly represent many of the world's largest banks in connection with complex financing transactions and planning, and have one of the leading securitization, financial products and investment fund practices in the world.

Insurance
We have a leading offshore insurance practice in the United States representing both insurers and reinsurers. Our work includes organization and operation of these companies as non-CFCs and non-PFICs, as well as addressing insurance industry-specific questions.

International
We have a leading international tax transactional, planning and consulting practice, focusing on international M&A, restructurings, intangible migration, transfer pricing, and minimization of worldwide effective tax rates for US- and non US-based multinationals.

Leasing
Our leasing practice is one of the predominant leasing practices in the United States with substantial presence in both domestic and cross-border transactions.

Real Estate
Our tax-related practice in the real estate area includes representation of public and private real estate investment trusts, institutional real estate investors, real estate fund managers and developers, and structuring cross-border real estate investment.

Mayer Brown's tax controversy and transfer pricing practice is one of the most active in the United States. The practice consists of 18 partners devoted almost exclusively to tax controversy and transfer pricing matters. For more information, click here.

German Office Practice
The German tax group of Mayer Brown advises on all significant business and commercial related areas of tax law. A focal point of our work is the tax efficient structuring of M& A transactions, structuring and restructuring of companies or corporate groups and general advice with respect to complex tax questions.

Due to the clearly increasing importance of the banking law division for the firm in Germany, the tax practice group has been formed to continue to support capital market projects. This also includes advice in connection with ABS and NPL transactions, structured financing, cross border leasing and tax optimized formation of and acting for funds.

For clients with foreign interests, the legal advice by our German tax group in foreign transaction tax law is especially important. This includes the optimal tax formation of service and supply relationships within corporate groups as well as in matters concerning the Double Tax Conventions. Our local expertise, international network and contacts with tax consultants and certified public accountants enable us to provide our clients with the best possible comprehensive advice and a flexible approach to provide tax solution.

The German lawyers at Mayer Brown specializing in tax law advice are also qualified as tax consultants (Steuerberater) to maintain our high quality on tax advice. We advise on national and international tax law and can draw on the expertise of over 45 tax lawyers in our offices in the US, UK and France who are specialized in a range of complex tax issues.
