Stéphanie Pouille

Professional Overview

Professional Biography

Stéphanie advises international groups and their executive boards on the tax structuring of corporate transformations and the fulfilment of multi-jurisdictional obligations.

As former Group Tax Director and executive committee member within a major European company, she brings together the technical discipline of tax law and a clear understanding of governance dynamics and institutional constraints. Her expertise in group tax structuring was forged through directing complex restructurings and managing multi-jurisdictional obligations. This articulation between legal doctrine and operational insight — seldom combined at this level — underpins a practice designed for immediate application and geared towards decision-making.

Her work has been recognised with Gold and Silver Trophies at the Trophées du Droit for Best Group Tax Department, and her handling of complex restructurings earned her a nomination at the European Counsel Awards in the European Tax Director category.

At LS2P Avocats, she leads matters where technical intricacy meets strategic weight, notably in international tax compliance, delivering not just rigorous execution, but clarity of thought that lifts the burden of decision off the shoulders of the executive teams she supports.
