The Taxation Practice
Arnold Bloch Leibler is renowned within the Australian business, legal and accounting communities as being the 'go-to' taxation law practice for public and private groups, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and high-wealth private clients.
We advise our clients on significant taxation audits and disputes and provide commercial tax advice on complex transactions for public and private groups. Our tax lawyers have formidable taxation knowledge and an unrivalled reputation for vigorously negotiating with the highest-ranking officials from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Our lawyers are expected to have a commercial mindset and advise across a diverse range of income tax and indirect taxation matters, working closely with all the other ABL practice groups.
The most valuable advice we often give our clients is not just if they "can" do something, but whether they "should" do it. Our lawyers are supported to develop and maintain deep technical knowledge within their area of legal practice and to have a broad understanding of the other important legal and commercial issues outside their speciality.
