Working closely with the firm’s corporate law specialists, the lawyers of Madrona Fialho Advogados‘ tax group are particularly well versed in tax planning and corporate restructurings. The team’s contentious capabilities are also noteworthy; companies from the mining, energy, food and beverage, healthcare and construction sectors regularly turn to the firm for representation in judicial and administrative disputes involving tax liabilities, benefits and exemptions. Tax litigation specialist Patrícia Lima and recently promoted partner Pedro Magalhães, who handles tax planning and transactional matters, jointly oversee the Belo Horizonte-based group. Senior associate Leandro Vieira is a key contact for tax litigation.
