Thanks to its integration into the international network, the German tax practice of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP handles not only national but also cross-border matters, with a main focus on transactional tax issues and on assisting with restructuring and tax disputes, including audits and appeal proceedings. Sectoral emphasis is placed on financial services, pharmaceuticals and technology. This thematic and sectorial range also mirrors practice head Johannes Frey's focus, who is supported by European counsel Frank-M. Schwarz, among others.
