Our Tax Department advises national and international clients on complex tax matters, including tax litigation. We have broad experience in traditional sectors such as banking and finance, insurance, real estate, utilities, energy, and telecommunications, as well as the dynamic e-commerce, pharmaceutical, fintech, and software sectors among others.

Our expertise covers local and international tax planning, double taxation agreements, CFC rules, IPOs, mutual funds, trusts, loan agreements, capital contributions, transfer pricing, securities and bonds, financial derivatives, stock purchase and options agreements, tax-free reorganizations, and intangible assets. As a result, our tax team is involved in nearly every major merger and acquisition, project finance, cross-border deal, and corporate restructuring, advising on the tax implications of complex administrative and financing structures and providing solutions to minimize exposure and seek efficiencies. We work with private investment funds, family businesses, private clients, and tax-exempt organizations, rounding out a solid corporate clientele.

We are renowned in tax matter litigation and the first full-service market leader to counsel on tax and fiscal offenses, working with our White Collar Corporate Crime Department.
