Strategic counsel for complex and sensitive legal matters

Tax & Legal Intelligence

Identify the developments that matter. Assess their impact. Anticipate decisions.

Intelligence that goes beyond information

LCCS identifies the tax, legal and regulatory developments likely to affect a company’s business, organisation or projects, and assesses their practical implications.

Each significant development is considered through three simple questions: What is changing? What are the consequences for the business? Is there a need to act, arbitrate or anticipate?

Where appropriate, the service therefore goes beyond simply flagging a development. It also helps identify the available options, areas requiring attention and the right time to act.

Transforming information into decisions

A tax or legal development does not have the same significance for every business.

Its significance depends on the nature of the business, its organisation, the transactions being considered, the reporting obligations that apply and the management choices currently being made.

This is why the scope of the intelligence service is defined with the business. It may cover, in particular, corporate taxation, VAT, intra-Community transactions, reporting obligations, administrative guidance, case law, legislative and regulatory developments, as well as issues specific to the client’s sector.

The objective remains the same: to identify, sufficiently early, the developments likely to influence a decision or require an adjustment.

An external perspective, integrated into executive decision-making

Beyond alerts and summaries, LCCS provides a legal and strategic perspective that enables executives to assess a development in light of their projects, organisation and constraints.

The Firm may therefore draw attention to an emerging risk, identify an opportunity, recommend a review, suggest an alternative course of action or advise that a decision be prepared before it becomes urgent.

his close involvement turns intelligence into a management tool,rather than a simple documentary review.

Anticipate rather than react

Certain legal difficulties arise less from a poor decision than from a decision taken too late.

A structured intelligence service helps reduce that risk.

It gives executives the time needed to understand a development, assess its impact and, where necessary, adapt a practice, secure a transaction or prepare a decision.

Support tailored to the level of oversight required

Depending on the company’s needs, the service is structured around three levels of intelligence — Essential, Enhanced or Signature — and may include, depending on the options selected, targeted alerts, periodic summaries, analyses applied to the client’s situation, regular exchanges with the Firm and a review of the main developments likely to affect the business.

The scope and frequency of the service are defined with the company, taking into account its organisation, its priorities and the level of support required.

Where an identified issue requires more in-depth analysis or a specific intervention, it may naturally be addressed through an additional engagement.

Understand earlier. Decide with greater confidence

LCCS Tax & Legal Intelligence pursues a simple objective: to give executives the insight they need to anticipate decisions rather than merely react to events.
