What our clients have to say
How we work, and why it feels different.
See how DPZ works in practice: no hour‑counting, direct access, a senior team and one clear roadmap so you can move forward in your most complex, often cross‑border tax situations.
The right team for your case
Each mission is co‑piloted by a senior tax lawyer and a bilingual expert, in smooth coordination with your other advisors.
Why work with us?
We listen deeply, we read between the lines, and we act with clarity so you can take your power back — in your French and international tax life.
Close this chapter and stop hearing about it.
Clean everything and rebuild on healthy ground.
Be sharper than the system, without cheating.
Feel truly seen and heard, not managed like a file.
Four ways we work with you
Expansion
For individuals and groups in international motion who want their structures to follow their life and projects, with strategy & control.
We secure your cross‑border tax trajectory (relocation, new country, tax residence, new entity, VAT, real estate, international flows and tax expatriation) so you can move fast and stay in peace.
Dynasty
For UHNWI, entrepreneurs, artists and families who want to build, protect and transmit an empire with clarity and freedom.
We work on governance, international estate and wealth structuring, tax and protection of your assets so that wealth, family and legacy can coexist without silent wars.
Protection
For international leaders, UHNWI and families who want their French tax life — income and wealth — handled at a premium level, without friction or mental load.
We take charge of your French income and wealth tax obligations year after year, from strategic framing to filings and follow‑up, so you are protected and can focus on your life and your projects.
Defense
For tax audits, tax disputes and criminal tax risk, when the past must be cleaned and the future secured quickly and without scandal.
We analyse the file, build a strategy, negotiate with the French tax authorities and stand by you in every decisive meeting and stage of the procedure.
Is this where you are right now ?
Expatriation or return to France.
Assets or companies abroad.
Multi‑country tax situation (France + another country).
New project or investment.
Divorce.
Death in the family.
Group expansion.
Tax audit.
M&A.
Transmission or succession.
Marriage.
Or a mix of all of the above.
Behind these events, the real wish is simple: end the story properly & rebuild on healthy ground. So you are not the one who “did nothing”.
We see you
%201.webp)
Our clients are brilliant and powerful, but their inner world is often full of tension: anger at the system, guilt, old school wounds, family conflicts and the feeling they “should have done better”.
We help our clients look at reality, without theatricality.
Not to lock them in the past,
but to help them get out of it with class.
No guilt.
No loss of control.
A way out from above.
We are not here to “do tax”.
Tax advice as it exists today is disappearing: too mechanical, too defensive, too dehumanised. At DPZ, we embody something else: advice based on presence, judgement and refinement — not automatisms. We make tax advice alive again: more elegant, softer, almost glamorous. It’s that sense of quiet joy that comes from clarity, structured sovereignty and peace with your choices. DPZ is not “a tax firm”, but a partner of transformation, helping you structure your freedom and move lightly. It is tax law, with grace.
What you can expect from us.
Tax Defense Connect
by DPZ
In her podcast, Tax Defense Connect by DPZ, Delphine explores how to keep and defend your empire when tax, reputation and justice collide. She talks with founders, heirs, artists and experts about cross‑border life, audits and accusations of tax fraud — without jargon, without shame.
Clearing the confusion
We’ve heard that one before and we know it keeps you awake, but our job is to make it fluid for you.
We clarify the roles: we do not sell tax shelters or products. We take responsibility for the legal and strategic architecture that protects you over time.
Yes, you can keep managing pieces on your own. But a professional team takes the whole burden, so you can find real freedom and make decisions in peace.
We name it with you and reframe. We solve a few key objectives so you can take your power back and stop using tax as a pretext for immobility.
It is not the tax authorities. The common enemy is lack of clarity and lack of adequate choices. Once you see clearly, you can choose, negotiate and move without panic.
We review your tax residence, double‑tax risks and the impact of tax treaties, and we align your structures so your cross‑border life is coherent and defensible in case of an audit.
Ideally before you move. We structure your cash‑flows, entities and assets (in France and abroad) so your tax expatriation is coherent, secure and defendable.
We analyse the case as a whole and build a strategy with the French tax authorities, taking the foreign elements into account, to reduce criminal exposure and find a negotiated outcome where possible.
