Created in 2019, KPMG Avocats has 650 professionals (including 300 lawyers) across 18 offices throughout France. Its teams support major French and international groups, family-owned businesses, mid-caps/SMEs, start-ups, and fast-growing companies across all sectors. KPMG Avocats operates in all areas of taxation (innovation tax, M&A Tax, national and international taxation, transfer pricing, international mobility, direct taxation, VAT, customs, energy taxation, etc.) as well as in business law, economic law, intellectual property and IT law, labor law, public law, and environmental law.
 
Every day, the firm’s professionals provide their expertise to develop the best strategies, offer comprehensive support for transformation and growth projects, and advise executives facing challenges specific to their market and sector: the complexity of tax and legal regulations linked to national territories and/or activities, expansion in France and internationally, construction of new business models, adaptation to sustainable development and digital transitions, integration of ethical AI, new working methods, and talent mobility.

Within KPMG Avocats, a scientific division dedicated to innovation financing provides daily support to French and international companies in funding their innovation projects. The innovation tax team is composed of engineers, PhDs, and lawyers who work together to deliver expert advice and innovative, secure solutions in the field of R&D incentives, including the CIR, CII, CICo, C3IV, JEI/JEU, IP Box schemes, and grant applications.
Thanks to its integration within the KPMG Global network, which enables a coordinated approach to Global R&D Tax Services, the team offers companies comprehensive cross-border management of their R&D activities, including simplified management of tax incentives across jurisdictions and the optimization of their R&D structures.
