This briefing is for you if you are a Finance, Tax or Transfer Pricing professional and you need to put in place appropriate intercompany agreements for a multinational group, to avoid unnecessary adjustments, fines and penalties.

It’s based on our experience of helping corporate groups internationally to put in place effective legal structures and transfer pricing agreements (also known as Intercompany Agreements or ‘ICAs’). LCN Legal’s lawyers are recognised as experts in Intercompany Agreements, and we have been featured in a range of respected journals including Tax Journal, Finance Director Magazine, Accountancy Magazine and Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law.

• How long should Intercompany Agreements be?
• Why do we need briefing notes for local boards and signatories of Intercompany Agreements?
