Pepeliaev Group is number one for tax advice in Russia

The International Tax Review journal has hailed Pepeliaev Group’s tax practice as Russia’s best in the area of tax advice and tax law in 2011.

Candidate firms were chosen in 50 jurisdictions. Various criteria were used by the International Tax Review’s Expert Council in assessing the level of advisory services: the quantity of transactions and pieces of advice; the services provided; the values of projects; the number of international projects; and the number of lawyers working in the practice.

International Tax Review is published and distributed in more than 20 countries of the world. Its readership mainly comprises the heads of tax departments of international companies as well as tax inspectors and advisors.

The journal has been selecting the leading tax law firms in each country since 2007. The results of this research are published in the highly respected World Tax directory, which lists the world’s leading tax advisors.

This is not the first time that its experts have conferred first place in Russia on Pepeliaev Group’s tax practice.

Pepelaev Group is the Russian member of Taxand. Those taking part in the survey voted for firms from the Taxand association in 32 of the 50 countries. In other words, across the world, 78% of Taxand’s member firms received recognition (Taxand has members in 41 of the 50 countries).

“This poll is testament to the highly valued advice we provide to clients and truly reflects Taxand’s international reputation as a world-class tax advisory organisation,” asserts Frédéric Donnedieu de Vabres, the Chairman of Taxand.
