New Name, Familiar Values: TQ Intelligent Tax Design Becomes LKC International

After months of intensive preparation, we are finally excited to share: TQ Intelligent Tax Design is becoming LKC International. With this new digital presence, we are taking an important strategic step behind the scenes that directly benefits you as our clients.

For 30 years, the LKC Group has stood for personal, competent, and entrepreneurial advice. Over this time, it has developed into a strong alliance supported by impressive pillars:

  • 30 years of experience
  • 30 locations and 80 partners
  • 700 team members serving over 25,000 clients

Strategic Growth: The Partnership with the atania Group

To position ourselves perfectly for future challenges, the LKC Group took the next logical step in 2026 and joined the atania Group. atania is an independent platform for tax advisory, auditing, transactions, and transformation with a clear focus on mid-sized companies.

Through this merger, LKC's established strength connects with the possibilities of an even larger network:

The Best of Both Worlds: Scale Meets Individuality

First and foremost: Despite this impressive scale, individual offices remain operationally independent. Nothing changes for you day-to-day; your personal contacts and trusted local support remain exactly the same.

At the same time, we can now draw from a deep pool of resources, accessing group-wide specialized expertise, modern technology structures, and additional capabilities.

Focus on International Tax Law: Tailored to Your Success

As an advisor in international tax law, I have supported entrepreneurs and business families with cross-border tax matters for many years. In this field, isolated solutions are often no longer enough. Strong international structures and a reliable network are essential.

For us at LKC International, joining forces with LKC and atania forms the ideal foundation. We remain your specialized, personal partner while being able to activate the strength of a large group whenever your mandate spans multiple countries or complex disciplines.
