In every area and type of economic activity, companies and investors know they must pay any taxes due – but not how much. Our team of specialists mitigates the tax burden and ensures peace of mind with advice uniquely tailored to the client’s needs.
The team provides support when clients pursue joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, or sales of assets, businesses and business lines. We assist in structuring and restructuring companies and business activities.
Whatever the client context, we take a multidisciplinary approach to anticipating issues and solving potential problems through a full range of tax-related legal services.
Our team has a strong track record of tax litigation in both the administrative and the judicial sphere. In this sense, we act for clients at the Administrative Courts, particularly before the Administrative Court of Tax Appeals (CARF), and before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
Clients rely on us to develop customized defenses and appeals against tax charges brought by federal, state and municipal tax authorities, as well as to represent them as plaintiffs in claims against these same authorities.
