After operating under the brands Andersen Tax, Andersen Legal and Andersen Tax & Legal, the member firms of Andersen Global in Europe will now operate under a single brand, “Andersen,” demonstrating the unified and seamless approach of the global tax and legal firm announced the company. Similar brand changes in other regions around the world will follow throughout the year.

This announcement comes on the heels of the U.S. member firm’s transition of its brand from “Andersen Tax” to “Andersen” last year. In total, member firms in 12 European countries—Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom—will adopt the Andersen brand. The transition of OrienTax and Szabo Keleman & Partners marks the debut of the Andersen brand in Hungary. Additionally, B.A. Tax Accountants will adopt the brand as it joins the team in Luxembourg.

Within Europe, Andersen Global also has a presence in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Republic of Kosovo, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine through its collaborating firms and has future plans to expand its regional footprint in Central and Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia.

Tuca Zbarcea si Asociatii is the Romanian law firm working with Andersen.

“Our common brand, Andersen, is reflective of our ‘one firm’ culture and encompasses all that we do as a global organization. It signifies our ability to provide best-in-class service and our deep commitment to investing in our people,” said Mark Vorsatz, Andersen Global Chairman and Andersen CEO. “Each of the member and collaborating firms that are a part of our organization promote stewardship and maintain transparency. Our global expansion continues to be driven by client needs and the recognition that we can best serve clients with independent and synergistic services.”

The transition to the Andersen brand in Europe is a milestone for the global organization, which began in 2002 when 23 former Arthur Andersen tax partners created the tax-only firm WTAS. In 2014, the group adopted the brand Andersen Tax as it best represented the firm’s values, culture of clients-first, stewardship and transparency. The organization has grown exponentially in Europe since the establishment of Andersen Global (formerly WTAS Global) by founding U.S. member firm Andersen Tax LLC in 2013. The European region began with just two locations in 2013 and has since expanded to more than 50 locations, nearly 2,000 tax and legal professionals, and over 300 partners today.
