Firm overview

Partners Natalie Reypens and Harmen van Dam lead the Loyens & Loeff TP team. The full team consists of 36 lawyers and economists from different practice areas, such as corporate tax, VAT, customs, litigation and competition from various offices, serving clients in all kinds of sectors.

The team can play an important role for domestic and foreign based clients. As the team is convinced that TP is intertwined with most tax issues, their approach is to fully integrate their TP expertise in this field with Loyens & Loeff's other tax and legal practice teams. This provides an exceptional strong position in transfer pricing audits, mutual agreement procedures and litigation (including EU State Aid procedures). However, the firm provides integrated solutions on all relevant TP issues, including strategy, documentation, quantitative TP/financial modelling, audits and dispute resolution, to clients.
