Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie provides a multinational client base with advice on preferential trade arrangements, duty relief programmes and customs compliance. The firm also represents clients before the Argentinean customs authorities, tax regulators and courts to obtain licences and permits; submit customs ruling requests; defend or appeal administrative procedures and provisional seizures; and help protect business interests during audits. The practice prides itself on working closely with other departments within the firm, most notably in the areas of public law, criminal law, and forex regulations, where there is significant overlap with international trade matters. The practice is led by Esteban Rópolo, who has been practicing international trade and customs law for more than 20 years, including a spell with the Foreign Trade Commission, where he led on dumping and anti-subsidy duties investigations. Associate Victoria Acevedo Freixas focuses on import and export matters, restrictions, licences and certifications, customs valuations, and dumping matters.
