WHY HEDEOS ?

Hedeos is a business law firm exclusively dedicated to indirect taxation and customs law. Hedeos also intervenes in local taxation and transactions.

A high-end and independent firm, Hedeos assists entrepreneurs, their companies (listed or not) and groups of French and international companies, both in advice and tax litigation.

In perfect collaboration with the usual stakeholders of companies (chartered accountant, auditor, notary, consultant and advisor), Hedeos’ partners and collaborators combine know-how to meet the requirements and objectives of their clients.

Created in 2011 by lawyers with a professional practice of more than 20 years in renowned national and international law firms, Hedeos now relies on a network of trusted partners, recognized professionals in their disciplines with whom the firm’s partners have forged close ties over the years and their common experiences.

OUR PRINCIPLES

With their experience and know-how in indirect taxation and transactions (VAT, indirect taxes, customs duty, excise duties), Hedeos’ partners have chosen to pool their skills in order to offer their clients a “high-measure” service.

Aware that a law firm, even a multidisciplinary one, cannot respond and understand all the problems encountered by its clients, Hedeos has chosen to develop and privilege a unique network of lawyers and professionals recognized in France and abroad in their disciplines, tax, legal and social.

The firm has forged close ties with these specialists, whose skills are made available to clients according to the specific needs of each case.

This requirement for “high-level” skills, the ability to build ad-hoc teams of recognized professionals as well as strong sectoral expertise make it possible to apprehend each of the firm’s files with creativity, responsiveness and expertise.

Our partners are committed to the values of excellence, innovation and trust. They are committed to providing solutions with pragmatism.

The experience, skills and expertise of our firm’s lawyers are the assurance and guarantee of a lasting relationship based on quality and know-how.
