He began his career at the French Ministry of Finance, where he served for four years, before joining Baker McKenzie in Paris in 1989. He then led the International Desk of Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte in London, overseeing operations for Southern Europe for two years. In late 1992, he returned to Paris to join the Corporate Finance department of Coopers & Lybrand Legal and Tax (now Landwell & Associés since 1999). He was made partner in 1997 and later co-led the M&A department at Landwell & Associés. From 2004, he also served as a member of the firm's executive committee. Xavier Rohmer assists private equity investment funds and major corporations in addressing financial and tax challenges related to their acquisitions and divestitures. He also provides comprehensive advice on restructuring, growth capital strategies (fundraising), management packages, wealth and asset structuring, and executive compensation (capital gains, wealth and property wealth taxes (ISF/IFI), stock options, bonus shares, etc.). Additionally, Xavier advises regulated professions, such as public notaries and chartered accountants. He leads and continues to develop the tax litigation and criminal tax law practice, serving both corporations and individuals. This area has become an increasingly significant focus within the tax department. Additionally, he has also established a Private Wealth practice, including estate litigation, aimed at French and international executives, managers, and private investors in relation with family offices and private banks in the financial market. > Xavier Rohmer - wise and appropriate advice for each specific case. > > Legal 500 EMEA ## Background - 1989 Paris 12 - Université Paris Est Créteil Val de Marne | PhD in Law (Docteur d’État) - 1983 IEP Paris - Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris | Master’s degree in Law - French National Tax School (École Nationale des Impôts) | Graduated from the French National Tax School ## *Rankings and* **Recognition** m - (01)Best Lawyers 2027 - France Tax The Best Lawyers in France - (02)Décideurs 2025 - France Private Equity recommended - (03)Décideurs 2025 - France Tax Law excellent [More distinctions](https://www.august-debouzy.com/en/distinctions/?search_type-collaborateur%5B%5D=xavier-rohmer) ## *Latest* News k [18/06/26 Deal 2 min August Debouzy advised Continental AG on the sale of its French service, distribution and tire retreading operations to ASC Investment August Debouzy a conseillé le groupe allemand Continental AG, l’un des leaders mondiaux des solutions pneumatiques et de services de mobilité, dans le cadre de la cession de ses activités françaises de services et de distribution et de rechapage de pneus, ContiTrade France, à ASC Investment.](https://www.august-debouzy.com/en/deal/august-debouzy-advised-continental-ag-on-the-sale-of-its-french-service-distribution-and-tire-retreading-operations-to-asc-investment/) [29/08/25 Legal Article 6 min French Tax Authorities Release Draft Guidance on Management Packages On July 23, 2025, the French tax authorities released draft guidance clarifying the new tax regime for management packages (Article 163 bis H of the French Tax Code), detailing its scope, conditions, calculation method, and the allocation between capital gains and employment income.](https://www.august-debouzy.com/en/legal-article/french-tax-authorities-release-draft-guidance-on-management-packages/) [09/05/25 Deal 2 min August Debouzy advised on the acquisition of Geismar, a key player in the railway industry, by a consortium led by Sandton Capital Partners, Verdoso, and MegaRock August Debouzy acted as legal counsel to the companies of Geismar, a French industrial group with international reach, specializing in the design and manufacture of equipment for the construction, maintenance, and modernization of railway networks.
