For the second consecutive year, The Tax Team of Allen & Overy Luxembourg, led by Jean Schaffner, Jean-Luc Fisch and Patrick Mischo, received the Luxembourg Tax Firm of the Year Award at the 7th annual International Tax Review (ITR) organised by the International Tax Review (A Euromoney publication, equivalent to the IFLR 1000 for tax matters). The awards were judged according to size of the deals, innovation, and complexity.

The International Tax Review's team of journalists undertook detailed research from a variety of sources to select the winners. Leading tax and legal firms from 26 jurisdictions across Europe were nominated for the awards. The magazine's editorial staff consulted a large number of tax advisers, private-practice lawyers, tax executives and in-house counsel to gain their perspective on the ground-breaking work between the period of March 2010 and March 2011. Shortlists were compiled based on the submissions and research, and the winners were chosen after a poll of international tax executives.

Jean Schaffner (Head of Tax Department) commented: "We are extremely proud to be recognised once again by the ITR. This recognition is a testament to the high-quality, seamless service Allen & Overy provides to tax clients in Luxembourg and worldwide.”

Henri Wagner (Managing Partner) added: “This is a fantastic achievement for Allen & Overy Luxembourg and a clear recognition of our leadership in that market segment. A prestigious prize for again an outstanding performance!"
