Party-appointed tax expert, out-of-court expert reports and specialist support for attorneys and law firms, in tax and economic criminal files — internationally, with the prompt response a procedural deadline requires.
In tax litigation or an economic criminal file, the outcome is often decided on technical ground — on a calculation, an expert report, a loss. The attorney masters the law and the strategy, but needs a specialist to read and rebut the tax side of the file. And the recurring problem is time: good experts are overloaded, and a report can be delayed by months, beyond the case's deadlines.
This is where I come in as your technical partner. I bring together the capacities of attorney, tax adviser and forensic tax expert, plus training in international taxation — an interlocutor who understands the tax substance, the economic mechanism of the operations and how you will use it all in the proceedings. And, crucially, I work to tight deadlines: an out-of-court report or a specialist opinion delivered in the time you actually need, not a year later.
The collaboration takes place professional to professional, through a collaboration agreement under the law, without any intermediation of clients: you keep the relationship with the client and the conduct of the case, I bring the technical component.
Services designed for the concrete needs of an attorney in a case with tax or economic stakes.
Participation, with the court's approval, in the court-ordered expertise in the file — an independent technical examination of the appointed expert's report and methodologically grounded observations. A party-appointed expert remains bound to technical rigour and the truth, not to a predetermined conclusion.
A specialist report at your request, filed as a document — the efficient alternative to a long court-ordered report, delivered within the case's timeframe.
Examining the expert report in the file — methodology, premises, calculations — and identifying, on technical criteria, the errors or questionable premises on which you can ground your objections or your counter-expertise request.
A rigorous tax reconstruction of the loss held by the prosecution — frequently overstated through flawed premises. A solid technical basis the defence can rely on, to the extent the figures support it you are building.
Specialist support on domestic taxation, international taxation (EU and UK) and transfer pricing — documentation, method, comparables, defending the group policy.
Tax-compliance and anti-money-laundering analysis for your clients — identifying and remedying exposures before they become litigation.
On the criminal component I act strictly as specialist technical support — tax and financial analysis carried out independently and on objective criteria, which the lawyer can integrate into the defence strategy. The rigour of the analysis stays the same whichever side requests it. It underpinning the attorney's strategy — not as a substitute for it.
Speed. A prompt response, within the real procedural deadline — not at the pace of a months-long waiting list.
International reach. I work with attorneys and law firms across borders; documents and communication take place remotely, without distance affecting the pace.
One person for substance and form. I understand the figure as an expert and the procedural context as an attorney — so the technical deliverable is built knowing how you will use it.

A technical distinction that matters when choosing the expert. Accounting expertise and tax expertise are distinct fields: an accounting expert cannot carry out a tax expert report. In files with a tax-evasion component — whether a single offence or in conjunction with others, most often money laundering — the relevant technical evidence is the tax expert report, and for it a forensic tax expert is needed, not an accounting expert. I act exclusively in this field, taxation.
A clarification of principle. Expertise is carried out exclusively in the capacity of expert, separate from any role as attorney. In a case where a colleague conducts the defence, I can act as a party-appointed expert or as support specialist — the two roles are not confused and are not combined in the same person, in the same case.
Much faster than a court-ordered report, which depends on the court's schedule and the appointed expert's workload. We set the concrete timeframe according to the complexity of the case and the volume of documentation, but the principle is speed — I know you work with procedural deadlines and that a delayed report loses its usefulness.
For urgent situations — an approaching deadline, an unfavourable report to be rebutted quickly — I can prioritise, after a prior assessment of the file.
Through a collaboration agreement between professionals, under the law. The law on the profession of attorney expressly allows the attorney to conclude agreements with experts and other specialists. You keep the relationship with the client and the conduct of the case; I bring the technical component, without intermediation or taking over clients.
Yes. The collaboration is international. Documents are sent electronically, discussions take place by video conference or phone, and a physical presence — at an expert examination, at a hearing — is arranged when necessary. Distance affects neither the pace nor the quality.
On the criminal component I act as independent technical support: the tax reconstruction of the loss, carried out on objective criteria, the analysis of the tax component of the charge, identifying the errors in the finding reports. The criminal defence itself remains yours — I bring the technical foundation on which you build your argument.
This delimitation is also a matter of role: as an expert I provide the analysis, while you remain the client's attorney.
Yes, it is one of the areas of specialisation. I can provide support on transfer-pricing documentation, on method and the selection of comparables, on defending the group policy against adjustments, as well as on international taxation matters within the EU and in relation to the UK. The training rests on the ADIT programme — the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation of the Chartered Institute of Taxation in London (in progress).
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a professional obligation I fully observe, reinforced by the collaboration agreement. The information in your files stays strictly between us, and the absence of any conflict of interest is checked before accepting a collaboration.
Whether you need a fast party-appointed expert, an out-of-court report or support on transfer pricing, a first conversation establishes how rigorous technical analysis can help — collegially, across borders.
