What the Team is Known For

Cuatrecasas is widely recognised as having a market-leading tax practice with proven strength in all aspects of Spanish tax law, and with top-ranked teams in Madrid and Barcelona. The law firm advises family-owned businesses that have operations in multiple jurisdictions on the tax aspects of corporate restructurings. The team also provides ongoing support to global or Spanish corporates, advising on diverse topics ranging from the calculation of corporation tax through to the update of transfer pricing policies. Cuatrecasas assists asset managers and high net worth individuals with the structuring of investments into Spanish assets or tax planning for the divestment of the same. Additionally, the lawyers have experience in the tax structuring of cross-border transactions between Spain and either Latin America or wider Europe. The litigation practice both defends clients in tax inspections and leads public law challenges to decisions made by tax authorities or government bodies.
