Legal readings of current
tax, wealth and employment issues.

The firm actively contributes to the dissemination of accessible and freely available legal information. These analyses cannot, however, substitute for the careful examination of an individual situation by a professional. The illusion that a legal rule applies to a specific case through a linear reading — a mere ticking of apparent criteria, an illusion today amplified by artificial intelligence tools — constitutes the main risk for clients. The law is characterised by a regulatory stratification such that case-law may still today reach unexpected conclusions.

Sandro Assogna

Member of the Paris Bar, I place cross-disciplinary legal practice at the service of one conviction: protecting the rights and interests of the individual, by shedding light on complexity through the search for solutions.

A path

My professional path was built step by step, at the crossroads of several legal traditions. My initial training, enriched between Bocconi University in Milan and the Sorbonne, laid the foundations for a practice oriented towards taxation, wealth and the international dimension of the law.

My early years of practice were spent in international firms in Italy, before I joined Deloitte Société d’Avocats in Paris, where I worked for a decade in the Individual Tax and International Mobility department. A field that lies, by its very nature, at the crossroads of personal tax law, wealth law, employment law and social security — and which calls precisely for that cross-disciplinary reading that defines my practice.

At the end of 2022, I founded my own firm, designed in my image: independent, demanding, deeply committed to personalised client service.

Cross-disciplinary practice as a method

The singularity of a legal situation rarely reveals itself within a single branch of the law. An executive structuring his business wealth, a senior employee negotiating his exit, a family transferring international wealth, an individual moving his tax residency, an artist or athlete securing the taxation of international income: each of these matters reads simultaneously through the lens of tax law, wealth law, employment law — and often private international law.

This ability to analyse a question through two or three legal angles at once has accompanied me from my very first matters. It is now the heart of my method: deciphering complexity, identifying the often invisible interactions between applicable regimes, and building solutions secure in all their dimensions.

An inherently international practice

Fluent in French, Italian and English, I work regularly on cross-border matters. My network of partner counsel allows me to coordinate in real time the multi-jurisdictional implications of every matter — in Europe, the United States, Brazil, Japan and India, among others.

This international practice is not an additional service: it is consubstantial with the way I practise law, inherited from my years in international firms and nourished daily by the diversity of situations encountered.

An ongoing commitment: training and network

The demands of the legal profession require continuous training, monitoring and exchange with peers. I have chosen to embed this commitment in time, through my membership of several leading institutions:

  • IACF — Institut des Avocats Conseils Fiscaux: the leading French association of tax lawyers, which shapes the professional doctrine of the field.
  • AUREP — Association Universitaire de Recherche et d’Enseignement sur le Patrimoine: a leading academic centre in wealth engineering, bringing together academics and practitioners around research, continuing education and analysis of developments in wealth law.
  • IBA — International Bar Association: the leading global organisation of lawyers, which supports my international network and provides ongoing monitoring of developments in cross-border law.
