Jean-Marc Tirard co-founded his present firm, specializing solely in taxation matters, in
1997. He began his career with the French tax administration. For 10 years, he was in
charge of the tax department of Ernst and Whinney. In 1989, he joined Clifford Chance
where he developed the French and international tax practice. He has more than 30
years’ experience advising large French and foreign companies on domestic and
international corporate tax issues as well as negotiating with tax authorities and handling
tax litigation. During his career he has been associated with numerous high-profile
corporate transactions. He has also had extensive experience in dealing with cross-border
use of intellectual property, particularly in the context of transfer-pricing disputes. His
current practice involves a significant emphasis on international tax issues including
transfer pricing. He is involved in several APA applications introduced by large
multinational firms following the recent introduction of this procedure in France and
represented the first US multinational to conclude an APA between France and the US.
Mr Tirard has published many articles and books in French and English including La
Fiscalité des Sociétés dans la CEE (7th edition, 2006) translated in English as Corporate
Taxation in EU Countries (Longmans). He is a frequent speaker at seminars dealing with
international tax planning in the context of various matters such as cross-border mergers,
joint ventures, transfer of technology, assets financing or the consensual resolution of
transfer-pricing issues. He is chairman of the Tax Commission of the French Committee
of the International Chamber of Commerce and co-chairman of the International Tax
Committee of the same organization. He is a member of the IFA and of the Licensing
Executives Society (LES). He has been rated over the last years as one of the leading
French tax lawyers in the Euromoney International Tax Review survey.
