Analysis of risk in sensitive circumstances
Risk analysis
Delicate situations frequently harbour unexpected and perilous corporate-law, tax-law and tax criminal and economic risks. Particularly within family-owned businesses and corporate groups, in particular, the line between the company’s sphere and the shareholder’s sphere is often blurred, creating substantial legal and tax exposure. In an international context, insufficiently substantiated holding and financing structures may also give rise to serious challenges. If left unaddressed, these risks can jeopardise the continuity of a business and expose directors, officers and shareholders to personal liability and penalties.
SCHACHNER conducts a thorough analysis of the situation, identifies potential vulnerabilities and assesses the resulting tax and liability consequences, so that any need for action is recognised at an early stage.
