What the Team is Known For
Strengths
I highlight their transparency in conducting and proposing solutions, always making clear potential points of attention. Also, their availability and knowledge for discussions of any tax topic.
Lobo de Rizzo's strengths are the personal approach in supporting clients and commitment to their issues. I find the firm excellent at handling complex and sophisticated matters.
They have a clear and great business communication. Their arguments are straightforward and easy for judges to analyse. They have in-depth knowledge of procedural law and tax law.
Work Highlights
Lobo de Rizzo assisted SJC Bioenergia with two public civil actions filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Goiás against the company, for alleged financial losses caused to the Goiás’ public treasury as a result of the granting of incentives to the sugar-alcohol sector in the form of ICMS credits.
Notable practitioners
Marcelo Bez Debatin da Silveira joins the tax rankings this year in consequence of his activity representing clients in contentious tax mandates involving ICMS and ISS, among others.
Marcelo Silveira is an excellent professional. He is transparent, direct and has in-depth knowledge of tax and civil procedure. He is always very polite and available to the client.
Marcelo managed to gain a good standing among us due to his ethical work and technical knowledge.
