We provide detailed advice on domestic matters and international transactions for individuals and legal entities, residing in Brazil and abroad. We represent clients in judicial and administrative litigation, at the federal, state, and municipal levels, in all levels and courts. Municipal performance throughout Brazil is one of our differentials, as we cover diverse legislations of several cities in various States.
Our partners have worked in highly complex, sensitive, and remarkable lawsuits and administrative proceedings to the Brazilian tax market, such as the billionaire case involving the taxation of profits from controlled companies abroad; the ICMS (State VAT) taxation on the import of goods under the REPETRO regime leading case; the interest on equity capital taxation leading case before the Superior Court of Justice (STF), among others.
We have four members of the International Tax Study Group (GETI), including among its founders, which makes our firm a reference for international taxation matters, and three of our partners hold degrees in accounting, which represents a specific knowledge that reinforces our tax services.
