François Ouairy is a tax attorney at the Paris Bar, partner in charge of BENSAID Avocats' Paris office. His practice covers all of his clients' strategic tax issues: real-estate VAT, transfer taxes, security fiducie in structured financings, tax residence, tax treaties.
He assists clients both in advisory work (audits, structuring of transactions, due diligence) and in litigation, before the tax administration and the administrative courts. For matters brought before the Council of State, he acts in partnership with an Avocat au Conseil d'État et à la Cour de cassation. He is regularly consulted on SIIC, OPPCI, SCPI, SCI transactions and on real-estate development programmes, as well as on operations backed by a real-estate fiducie. The matters he handles carry significant stakes, both in the amounts involved and in their consequences for the balance of the transaction.
Author of articles published in leading reviews (Defrénois, Lextenso, Village Notaires & Patrimoine, Le Moniteur), he also lectures (Business Immo, Immo Formation) and has contributed to institutional work (Fondation Concorde).
