Tax Disputes

Tax regulations are complex and intricate, and their application often involves differences of opinion between business and state revenue authorities. Our tax team has a record of successfully representing local and international clients before tax authorities, as well as local and European Union courts.

COBALT was nominated as the CJEU (Court of Justice of the European Union) Firm of the Year in 2020 by the prestigious ITR European Tax Awards for its outstanding work in tax litigation in the CJEU.
