Rolim Goulart Cardoso Advogados

Covering both contentious and non-contentious mandates, the tax team at  Rolim Goulart Cardoso Advogados has a broad offering which continues to attract new and impressive clients from a range of industries, including steel, telecoms, and energy. The litigation arm of the department is often engaged in administrative, regulatory and judicial proceedings, including the superior courts, while the advisory group specialises in handling the tax aspects of M&A transactions and reorganisations. Joao Dácio Rolim, Alessandro Mendes Cardoso, and Luciana Goulart co-lead the team and bring together a multitude of expertise in the tax field: Rolim specialises in international tax and arbitration, and currently acts as an arbitrator for the Chamber of Commerce Brazil; Cardoso holds extensive experience representing clients before administrative tribunals, such as CARF and the Supreme Federal Court, in a variety of domestic and foreign tax matters; and Goulart’s former role as a member of the Tax Administrative Court of the State of Minas Gerais makes her adept at handling administrative defence cases and debt disputes. On the consulting front, Frederico de Almeida Fonseca  heads up the tax consulting team and concentrates on tax and estate planning, alongside M&A transactions. Tatiana Rezende Torres and Tadeu Negromonte de Moura, who was notably promoted to partner in 2023, focus on litigation regarding federal, state, and municipal taxes, as well as customs and social security disputes.
