When the law counts

Spiegel Sohmer works in close collaboration with many corporations active in financial and accounting services. Our clientele in this domain is notably composed of:

• accounting firms;
• insurance companies;
• securities dealers;
• insurance brokers;
• financial institutions.

Our priority: your client

Our team of tax specialists works closely with our client accountants to ensure their clients receive legal expertise of the highest calibre. In this regard, our tax specialists go beyond the traditional “formulas” to define tailored approaches off the beaten path and generate tangible benefits for the client.

Litigation

We also are routinely involved in litigation files, principally on behalf of insurance companies. The ability of our attorneys to grasp all the nuances at stake—for example, in complex sectors such as aviation—is well known.

Transactions

Experts in the sector also may put to advantage our services within the framework of transactions, either to their own benefit or on behalf of their clients. We act in these instances as a strategic facilitator: We seek to ensure the success of a transaction while obtaining protection of the client’s interests consistent with the level of risk the client is prepared to assume. Our expertise becomes of greatest importance in cases notably of:

• sales or purchases of assets or shares;
• mergers;
• restructuring;
• transfers of control.

Commercial agreements

Finally, our attorneys also are involved in the negotiating and concluding of commercial agreements. In addition, they participate in the drafting of contracts governing relations of our clients with their own clients and their suppliers.
