At PricewaterhouseCoopers the tax practice is now led by
Andreas Staubli, after
Andrin Waldburger left the firm in May.
Armin Marti is a well-known individual at the firm who is praised by competitors. The transfer pricing financial services team, led by
Mohamed Serokh, is strong. The transfer pricing practice was strengthened with the addition of
Salim Damji, who joined the firm from Ernst & Young, where he was a partner. The firm advised on the re-domiciliation of the largest offshore drilling contractor from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland. The transaction was the culmination of a series of highly complex structuring steps and sophisticated international tax planning. This deal was worth $21 billion. Staubli and
Martin Büeler advised a Swiss-headquartered travel company on the $450 million acquisition of a premier travel retailer in North America. This deal involved the PricewaterhouseCoopers network. The firm was able to clarify the transaction's qualification for US and Swiss tax purposes quickly. Büeler also advised a global investment company on the expansion of their portfolio into Europe. The lack of a double tax treaty between the investment company's domicile, United Arab Emirates, and the target's location, Switzerland, required the use of an Austrian holding company to avoid withholding tax.
