Edouard De Rancher

Edouard has acquired and developed a deep tax knowledge in many sectors such as life science (medical devices and pharmaceutical products), hospitality, automotive, aviation, banking, advisory, manufacturing, new technologies companies (online platforms, crypto-assets issuers, etc.), data centers and setting up and managing non-profit organizations belonging to large groups.

His activities range from M&A and private equity to tax planning and advisory on complex and high value added tax issues as well as tax audits and litigation. In that regard, Edouard has followed various cases up to the French Supreme Court or the Constitutional Court and has led high value settlements with French tax authorities. Edouard also advises a number of high net worth individuals on their domestic or cross-border tax issues.

In his prior firms, Edouard has worked regularly with tax practitioners in a great number of jurisdictions. He has thus developed a deep knowledge of cross-border related tax issues (supply chain reorganizations, international development, cross-border M&A, IP transactions, cash repatriation strategies, dealing with permanent establishment and effective place of management issues, etc.). He also has developed a good general knowledge of many foreign tax systems and in particular the U.S tax rules.

Edouard and his team operate seamlessly with all other legal practice groups (M&A, Financing, IP, Employment Law, etc.) to deliver comprehensive advice. They are very dedicated to their clients, focused on finding tailor-made solutions and delivering advice meeting the highest standards.
