Tax

The full-service law firm has one of the largest tax practices and has established itself as finding innovative solutions in complex and large capital transactions. The team of 45 multi-disciplinary lawyers is experienced in taking on complex domestic/international tax cases. Some of the team’s expertise is in financial structuring, indirect taxes, corporate transactions, and dispute resolution. Tax executive Mmangaliso Nzimande is a key figure alongside four directors leading the tax practice.  

During the research period, the tax team assisted The Foschini Group in its 100% acquisition of target firm Tapestry Home Brands Proprietary Limited and its subsidiaries. The task entailed carrying out the tax due diligence and tax-efficient structuring of the deal.
