Oliver has headed up the firm’s German Tax practice since 2019 and is a member of the German Executive Team (GET). Oliver has leading expertise in the market for advising on domestic and cross-border M&A transactions (in particular in the energy sector), complex cross-border tax structuring and planning, and domestic and international Tax disputes (in particular advance pricing agreements, and mutual agreement procedures).

Our global tax practice is market-leading, frequently advising on the world’s largest and most complex deals, and I am sure that under Oliver’s tenure we will continue to offer our clients unparalleled holistic advice and outstanding client service. I would like to thank Dick Hofland for his enormous contribution to the practice which has gone from strength to strength under his leadership.”
