Paris, April 2, 2026 — Joffe & Associés announces the arrival of Pierre-Eliott Blum and Alexandre Benslima as partners, to deliver an integrated tax offering combining transactional tax, private wealth tax, and tax litigation defense for business leaders.
Their arrival enables the firm to offer a full-service tax practice working in close synergy with the M&A and Private Equity teams, while opening new advisory horizons for executives, entrepreneurs, and private wealth clients.
A 360° advisory approach: Transactional, wealth, international, and litigation
Pierre-Eliott and Alexandre bring deep expertise in the tax structuring of transactions, due diligence audits, and the design of incentive schemes and management packages. Their practice serves a diverse client base ranging from SMEs and family-owned groups to investment funds, both in France and internationally. They are particularly active in sectors such as Tech, real estate, luxury, construction, sports, communications, and industry.
This transactional dimension is complemented by a sharp private wealth tax offering and a strategic approach to tax litigation. The two partners notably advise business leaders on succession and business transfer issues, and work to secure their personal tax position — whether dealing with income tax, the real estate wealth tax (IFI), or complex tax audits.
Their international profile also enables them to advise numerous non-residents — particularly in the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East — on their specific issues relating to tax residency and cross-border tax structuring.
“The arrival of Pierre-Eliott and Alexandre reflects our commitment to expanding the firm’s tax practice. Pierre-Eliott knows the firm inside out, having started his career here. Their dual expertise — spanning transactional advisory, private wealth, and tax litigation — provides our clients with the comprehensive perspective that is essential in a constantly evolving tax landscape,” says Christophe Joffe, founding partner.
Pierre-Eliott Blum, 33, advises family-owned groups, investment funds, and shareholders. A French-Canadian dual national and fully bilingual, he developed his expertise at firms including CMS Francis Lefebvre Avocats, Stehlin & Associés, and Lumay Avocats. He holds a Master’s degree in Tax Law from Université Paris Cité (Paris V) and a University Diploma in Sports Law from the University of Montpellier. He is a member of the Institut des Avocats Conseils Fiscaux (IACF).
Alexandre Benslima, 31, advises companies and their executives on transactional and private wealth tax matters, with a strong focus on tax litigation. He regularly works on securing restructurings and international flows for a clientele of business owners. He previously practiced at Lumay Avocats, Stehlin & Associés, and Cohen Amir-Aslani. He holds a Magistère in Business Law and a Master’s degree (DJCE — Diplôme de Juriste Conseil d’Entreprise) from the University of Montpellier and is a member of the IACF.
