Frédéric Donnedieu de Vabres, Chairman of Taxand, said, “More and more of our clients are investing in their operations in Australia due to its growing national economy and strong trade links with emerging markets in Asia and the rest of the world. The Australian team is well-placed to combine specialist local tax advice with an international perspective.”
