Bär & Karrer's tax practice is capable of advising clients on corporate tax planning, double tax treaties and related issues, indirect taxes and financial services tax issues. The department comprises five partners, including department leader Raoul Stocker, and seven fee earners. The firm this year advised medical technology company Levitronix on its corporate restructuring and sale of its medical business to Thoratec. Stocker and Michael Barrot advised the company on the tax implications arising from the sale and the restructuring of its group to optimise tax treatment. The firm also recently advised Metso Denmark on its purchase of BP Recycling Systems' shredding business. The firm handled all aspects of the transaction and Daniel Bader handled the tax elements of the transactions which were complicated by the transfer of intellectual property as part of the business' assets.
