KAREL SCHWEISS
I am qualified as German attorney-at-law and German certified tax consultant and advise national and international clients on German national and international tax matters as well as company law.
I have established since 10 years my own law office. After having practiced as the Head of Tax Germany at the international law firm Eversheds Sutherland I have been managing partner at AUTACO GmbH Certified Public Accountants. Before joining Media Saturn where I was responsible for developing the international tax department I headed the department of Tax and Special Projects at Philipp Morris Germany, responsible for the national and international tax structuring and various international projects.
I started my career with Ernst & Young, Certified Public Accountants in Munich. For the past 33 years I have gained extensive experience in a variety of areas of corporate law and tax law, both, as manager as well as consultant, with emphasis on the tax treatment of corporate restructurings, mergers and acquisitions and in the field of fiscal offences. I advise on German national and international tax law. My expertise encompasses all areas of corporate and tax law, with a particular emphasis on tax-optimized corporate reorganizations, restructurings, financing structures as well as individual tax planning for high-networth individuals.
I am trilingual in German, English and Spanish and have gained extensive experience in analyzing and structuring complex problems as well as providing business orientated and pragmatic solutions in my positions to date.
