Tax Non-contentious: Highly Regarded

About

Provided by Lobo de Rizzo Advogados

Given Brazil's intricate tax system, which includes federal, state, and municipal taxes, businesses often seek legal advice to navigate the complexities and ensure compliance while optimizing their tax positions. This includes advice on corporate taxation, indirect taxes such as VAT (ICMS) and excise taxes (IPI), transfer pricing regulations, tax incentives, international taxation, and tax treaties.

 In 2023, our tax department played relevant role in the M&A transactions carried out by the firm, not only supporting the definition of the best structure for the investments, but also helping to define important issues of the negotiation and price definition.

 We are also known for our expertise in post-closing matters, such as the implementation of long-term incentive plans for executives, such as stock option plans and RSU plans, which involves complex issues in Brazil due to the lack of regulations.

We have been working with national and international companies’ leaders in their sectors. In the past few years, our team has established a more diverse practice, engaged in several strategic mandates, whether involving disputes or consultancy. Our team was recently involved in high profile matters for our innovative and creative approach.

We should also mention our expertise in transfer pricing, which is recognized by the market and allows us to offer both consultancy and litigation work related to the complex issues that may arise in this area.
