Tax Litigation: The Elite

Our highly specialized tax team advises clients on the full spectrum of tax issues through our litigation, advisory, social security and customs practice areas. We have a strong tax litigation and controversy practice in the administrative and judicial spheres.

The administrative litigation practice at municipal, state and federal levels and the results obtained indicate the importance of our tax controversy practice in reversing tax delinquency notices and penalties imposed by administrative authorities.

We also keep close track of relevant regulatory developments as well as those in judicial and administrative decisions, which helps us identify new opportunities in the interest of our clients.

In addition, we deal with alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Our team plays an active role in tax audits conducted by the Federal Revenue Office and by state and municipal tax authorities. When conflict is inevitable, we analyze the financial impacts of a tax dispute and weigh in the alternatives, benefits and potential risks quickly and objectively, thus enabling the legal and tax departments or executives of the companies involved to make a learned decision.

We defend our clients before all courts throughout Brazil, including before higher courts. We have a highly specialized team in our Brasília office that customarily handles special appeals in leading cases before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
