About

Provided by TozziniFreire

We are an outstanding choice for multinationals navigating the complexities of the Brazilian tax system and seeking the optimal structure for their investments. Our team works closely with the firm’s Corporate/M&A, and Banking & Finance practices to deliver critical transactional tax advice, which is often what determines the success of any deal. Our partners are also sought after for standalone tax advice, including legal opinions on highly technical questions of law. In the last year, this has included consultations on transfer pricing and Pillar Two (global minimum corporation tax). Our lawyers have also designed bespoke structures for clients in response to Brazil’s tax reform as it impacts consumption taxes at a federal and state level.
