SBKG & associés, the French law firm, has appointed Damien Billet to its Marseille office, where he will develop a team working in areas including personal tax issues.

He will develop the tax practice in Marseille, in close collaboration with the Paris team lead by Philippe Schmidt, according to a statement from the firm.

Damien, as well as the other partners in the Marseille office, works with both French and international clients. He advises corporations and their managers on corporate and personal tax issues. He also advises investment funds as well as companies regarding capital investment operations.

Billet, a member of the Marseille Bar, began his career at Stehlin & Associés where he practiced law until moving to Marseille in 2012.
