Bredin Prat has a highly respected tax practise which specialises in M&A, private equity, corporate restructurings and real estate transactions. The team of 15 tax lawyers includes six partners.
In September 2011, the team represented Rhodia in the largest takeover bid in 2011 to involve a French target. The deal led to the merger of two large international industrial groups, in the chemicals industry, which required sophisticated tax structures.
In other work, the firm advised on one of the largest acquisitions to take place in the champagne sector. The team assisted Société Européenne de Participations Industrielles SAS (EPI) on its acquisition of the whole of the capital of Piper-Heidsieck-Compagnie, from Rémy Cointreau.
The team co-advised Ineos, the fourth largest chemicals manufacturer worldwide, alongside Slaughter and May. The €2 billion ($2.64 billion) deal was completed in July 2011.
Bredin Prat has a best friend's agreement with Italian firm Bonelli Erede Pappalardo, Hengeler Mueller in Germany, Slaughter and May in the UK and Spanish Uría Menéndez.
The firm advices French and foreign companies on all domestic and international tax issues and also assists clients in tax audits and disputes.
