When the [[font-h1:past]] knocks at the door
Who [[font-h2:Defense]] is for
- You have received a tax audit notice, reassessment proposal or summons.
- You are under, or fear, a criminal tax investigation or accusations of tax fraud.
- You are an heir, founder, artist or public figure and cannot afford a public scandal.
- You have a complex situation (several countries, entities, flows) and do not know how it will be read by the tax authorities in a context of complex international tax disputes.
- You want someone experienced to read the game with you, not just “answer the letter”.
The specific problems we solve
The steps to
We keep it simple and strategic, in four steps:
Our work is forfait‑based, over a minimum of three months, with one clear roadmap and no surprise billing.
1. Map your reality
We map your countries, entities, assets, income flows, family and professional situation. No judgement, just facts and truth.
2. Clarify your scenarios
We explore what happens if you move, invest, create a holding, sell or reorganise, and we quantify the tax and legal consequences.
3. Design the architecture
We design a coherent structure (companies, holdings, contracts, flows) aligned with your life, your projects and your risk appetite.
4. Secure implementation
We coordinate with your notaries, accountants and foreign counsel to implement and adjust, so the structure is not just “nice on paper”.
What [[font-h2:you]] get at the end
- A clear understanding of your real risks — tax, criminal, financial and reputational — including incomplex international tax disputes.
- A defence strategy that you can stand behind, because you understand it.
- Negotiated, framed outcomes instead of chaos (amounts, timelines, conditions).
- Support and presence in key meetings and, if needed, during criminal procedures.
- A path to “a clean slate” and a structure that is safer going forward.

The moments that call [[font-h2:for]] Defense
- Audit notice or proposed re-assessment from the tax authorities.
- Search, dawn raid, interrogation, or summons.
- Letter or signal that a criminal tax investigation may be opened.
- Discovery of past issues (undeclared flows, fragile structures, errors) that can no longer be ignored.
- A transaction (sale, fundraising, inheritance) that will bring everything to light — including international structures.
Behind these events, the wish is simple: to come out the other side with your freedom, your name and your life intact.
Who this offer is [[font-h2:not]] for
- People looking for purely tax‑driven, artificial schemes with no real substance behind them.
- Those who want the cheapest option, regardless of future risk or peace of mind.
- One‑off “quick questions” with no willingness to look at the whole picture.
