Our tax team currently consists of Julia Gallinger and Michael Dettmeier.

Julia and Michael have many years’ experience in dealing with tax law issues arising from corporate, property and infrastructure transactions, as well as restructurings. They also draw on extensive practical knowledge in obtaining binding rulings and conducting judicial and extrajudicial appeal proceedings.

Julia and Michael provide advice on both domestic and cross-border matters, always taking into account the project as a whole within its economic and legal context.

In addition to tax advice in our firm’s core practice areas (energy, property, infrastructure, corporate/M&A, EU competition and finance/restructuring), Julia and Michael offer sector-specific tax expertise.

Julia has extensive expertise in advising on tax legal uncertainties and the use of tax risk insurance, as well as the use of warranty and indemnity insurance in corporate transactions. In this regard, Julia has previously advised both insurers and policyholders. Such insurance policies enable transactions or (re)structuring to be carried out efficiently, particularly when negotiations between the parties have stalled.

Michael’s advisory practice focuses on providing tax advice and structuring property and infrastructure transactions, as well as alternative investment funds that invest in these asset classes. He provides his clients with tax advice throughout the entire investment period, from acquisition through to disposal and the winding up of the fund structure.
