Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs
French term or phrase: à cette dernière
My question is: what is "à cette dernière" referring to?

- This is a letter to the government tax auditor from a law firm.
- The law firm is challenging the government's proposal for a tax reassessment.
- This part of the law firm's letter summarizes the government's justification for the reassessment.
- In the bolded section (my bolding), it seems to say that the partners in the firm can't provide services to the firm on behalf of the firm, because they can only work for the firm. This is very confusing.
- Then the next paragraph uses both FIRM and LLP, wheras in the bolded section those terms were defined as the same entity.

I'm thinking that the key may lie in knowing what "à cette dernière" refers to.

-------------------------------
La position du Service décrite dans la proposition de rectification peut être résumée de la façon suivante :

 Le Service estime que les associés français étant associés au sein de la FIRM, ils ne
peuvent rendre *** à cette dernière *** une prestation au nom de FIRM, cabinet d’avocats
établi aux Etats-Unis (ci-après le LLP) car ils sont exclusivement tenus de travailler pour
la FIRM.

 Le Service indique que la convention de portage (« nominee agreement ») conclue entre
le LLP et les « associés » de la FIRM en vertu de laquelle les associés français de la
FIRM portent les parts de celle-ci au bénéfice du LLP présenterait les caractéristiques
d’une clause léonine et serait par suite réputée non écrite.
