Fipaco guides businesses establishing themselves in Europe or restructuring, and families managing wealth across several countries. The practice is business-driven in nature; tax law always follows, never leads.
Assignments start with a conversation about what the business wants to achieve. Only then does the form follow: the entity, the financing, the intercompany arrangements and the tax position that goes with it and holds up under scrutiny.
Where specialist knowledge is needed, we bring in trusted partners from a network we have built ourselves. That makes us well suited to matters that require attention rather than capacity.
Fred advises high-net-worth individuals and internationally operating businesses. He has broad experience in structuring, European establishment and the tax consequences that follow, and is clients' consistent point of contact throughout the assignment.
He works in Dutch, English, Italian and German, and as a partner in the Courtlane partnership is involved in files where legal and tax disciplines meet.
