Proskauer Rose LLP has further strengthened its French tax practice by appointing Gwenaël Kropfinger as a partner in its Paris office. Renowned for his expertise in tax structuring related to mergers and acquisitions, Kropfinger will be advising private equity funds and multinational corporations. His proficiency extends to leveraged buyouts (LBOs), capital markets transactions, and corporate group reorganizations. Besides these areas, he is also set to assist in the development of French and pan-European private equity funds.
Kropfinger’s addition to the firm is viewed as a strategic move to enhance Proskauer’s capabilities in providing sophisticated tax advice across multiple jurisdictions. This step aligns with the firm’s ongoing efforts to bolster its market presence in Europe and solidify its role as a key player in international tax advisory.
The announcement from Proskauer highlights the firm’s commitment to investing in high-caliber talent to offer comprehensive legal solutions to their global clientele. The firm’s decision to bring Kropfinger onboard underscores the growing demand for adept tax planning and structuring, especially in the complex landscape of cross-border transactions and restructuring efforts.
