[private]Thierry Denayer, currently a partner at Linklaters Brussels, will join Stibbe as a partner as of April 2009. He will become head of the tax law department.
Thierry Denayer has been a partner at the firm that is known today as Linklaters since 1989. His practice mainly comprises the tax aspects of corporate reorganisations and real estate transactions, tax planning and tax litigation.
The tax law department of Stibbe now counts eight lawyers including professor Luc De Broe (K.U.Leuven). This department deals with all aspects of tax law, both on a national and international scale. This team has done pioneering work in recent years, mainly regarding real estate projects and in particular regarding tax optimisation of PPP projects. Furthermore, it engages in all tax aspects of transactions and it is frequently involved in drafting and submitting ruling requests. The tax law department closely cooperates with Stibbe’s real estate, corporate & finance and public law teams. Major achievements in recent years include the foundation and structuring of Beheersmaatschappij Antwerpen Mobiel and the unique tax ruling that was obtained regarding the transfer of the cable network of four intermunicipal cable companies to Telenet. Moreover, the tax law department has an outstanding reputation for assisting clients in tax litigation, a specialisation for which it can, if necessary, rely on the support of our business crime unit.
Olivier Clevenbergh, Stibbe’s Managing Partner, is very enthusiastic about Thierry’s arrival: “We are delighted with the arrival of Thierry, who will bring his broad experience to bear on the further development of our tax team. With this reinforcement, the tax law team will have the opportunity to further expand its activities, which will strengthen Stibbe’s strategy as a full-service law firm. For our clients the tax aspects of their activities are of fundamental importance. With Thierry in our team we will be able to look after their interests even better than before.”[/private]
