Firm Overview:
Leading international publications of the legal sector place Di Tanno Associati among Italy’s top tax consulting firms. Founded in 1986 and with offices in Milan and Rome, Di Tanno e Associati is a reference point in Italy for tax and legal tax consultancy in terms of competence, professionalism and vision.

This positioning has also been recognized at international level and has been made possible by the deep specialisation and the distinctive approach of the firm, based on the ability to combine technical skills with a transparent consultancy model, focused on personal relationship.

Flexibility and personal commitment of its experienced professionals, together with the talent of brilliant young practitioners, allow the firm to create value in particular complex or innovative situations, where standardized or conformed consultancy is not sufficient.

Di Tanno Associati has thus shaped its profile to its current composition, where expertise in fiscal issues is enhanced by strong skills in company and finance law — all of which adds up to making it a valuable, specialist contact for tackling extraordinary complex operations. This professional background helps the firm to provide creative and innovative advice on a range of sophisticated transactions. In particular, the firm specialises in M&A and company restructuring and closed-end funds creation as well as tax litigation and high net-worth individuals. A wide range of tax services are also provided in the field of banking and finance, capital market, transfer pricing. The founder Tommaso Di Tanno, former adviser to the Italian Finance Minister, involved in most prestigious governmental commissions, is a renowned expert on economic and fiscal affairs.
