Second Opinions.
An independent second opinion provides clarity on complex tax matters. We review existing assessments, re-evaluate risks, and create a reliable basis for decision-making.
Second Opinions for complex tax matters
A second opinion confirms or protects against incorrect decisions.
An independent second perspective.
Independent in assessment and clear in recommendation: For complex tax matters with potentially significant risks, we prepare second opinions that independently and critically examine the facts, the legal position, and possible lines of defense.
Objectively assess risks.
We not only evaluate the legal position but also classify risks according to probability of occurrence and economic impact—as a reliable basis for decisions by management, shareholders, and supervisory bodies.
Critically examine arguments.
We review existing assessments—such as those from current advisors, audit firms, or transaction lawyers—within the framework of structured quality assurance. We challenge premises, delineations, and lines of argument, identify potential blind spots, and provide a clear assessment of whether the existing position appears sustainable vis-à-vis the tax authorities and tax courts.
Reassess case law.
Where necessary, we update older opinions in light of new case law, administrative guidance, or legislation.
Reliably secure decisions.
As second advisors, we understand our work as a professionally grounded complement to primary advice. We provide an independent second view that secures existing structures, prepares for tax disputes, and supports decisions regarding binding rulings, tax insurance, or structural adjustments.
