Geoffrey Scardoni joins Clifford Chance’s tax practice

Clifford Chance has appointed Geoffrey Scardoni as a partner in the firm’s tax practice in Luxembourg.

Scardoni, who joined at the start of January, previously led the Luxembourg tax practice at DLA Piper where he gained extensive experience in tax matters relating to funds and investment structures working for PE firms, asset managers and financial institutions.

Commenting on the appointment, Chris Davies, Global Practice Area Leader for Tax, Pensions, and Employment at Clifford Chance, said: “Geoffrey is a valuable addition to our tax practice, which plays a key role in structuring investments and other transactions in Europe. Luxembourg is a vital hub for fund managers and financial investors and Geoffrey brings the capability and experience that those clients require.”

Scardoni adds: “I look forward to working with the incredibly talented team at Clifford Chance, both in Luxembourg and across the wider network. This is both an exciting and a challenging time, and I look forward to collaborating with clients on some of their most critical and complex challenges in the years to come.”

The move was brokered by Matthew Dwyer of Cain Dwyer.
