Michiel van de Velde specializes in the full tax spectrum surrounding transactions with a focus on private equity. He supports clients on due diligence on both the buy and sell side, as well as with international structuring support for acquisitions, divestitures, refinancings and IPOs. He also advises portfolio companies with post-acquisition strategy, structure maintenance and discussions with tax authorities.
Michiel has more than 15 years of M&A tax experience and has been with EY since 2021. Prior to that, Michiel was a partner in the M&A tax practice of another big four firm. Michiel studied International Tax Law at Utrecht University.
"I like to add value with creative solutions to complex tax issues but also by making the advice applicable within the transaction dynamics and by staying involved after implementation of the structure."
How Michiel is building a better working world
"Advising a team on the most challenging deals in the market gives me a lot of energy. I pass on that energy to the people I work with. It is nice to see that the M&A practice gives people many opportunities to develop themselves and I enjoy helping them with that."
