Warsaw, May 28, 2008: TAXAND achieves inaugural cross-border award and receives 4 best tax firm wins from leading tax publication.
TAXAND, the global network of over 2,000 leading tax advisors from independent member firms, which is represented in Poland by Accreo Taxand, achieved market recognition for its contribution
to tax at this year's International Tax Review's (ITR) European Tax Awards. The "Best Newcomer Award 2008" was presented to TAXAND for delivering best-in-class tax advice across Europe.
The award, which was introduced this year to honour entrants to the market within the last five years, was determined by a panel from the Tax Executives Institute's European Chapter and ITR's editorial team following initial research canvassing the perspectives of tax executives, in-house counsel, tax advisors and private-practice lawyers.
Frédéric Donnedieu de Vabres, chairman of TAXAND said: "Five years ago TAXAND
was a promising but very theoretical concept. Two years later we launched with eight members. Today we cover 43 countries and continue to expand. This award is major recognition of the work we have done together and I am thrilled our efforts and our brand have been acknowledged in this way".
According to Radosław Czarnecki, Partner and co-founder of Accreo Taxand "It is as well for us a very special award. From the moment Taxand was founded, Accreo Taxand was strongly involved in network's development and was one of the first members."
