BMA Advogados handles the gamut of tax mandates, ‘from consultancy to litigation, with outstanding experience in transactions and planning’. The firm is routinely instructed by non-profits and major companies operating in a range of sectors, most notably chemicals, energy, financial services, healthcare, oil and gas, and retail. Department head Lígia Regini Da Silveira takes the lead on tax litigation in the judicial and administrative spheres. Other names to note for contentious tax issues include Vivian Casanova, who excels in administrative proceedings. Luiza Lacerda stands out for her in-depth knowledge of indirect taxes. Hermano A. C. Notaroberto Barbosa, a member of the French desk and wealth planning groups, handles a mix of non-contentious issues and tax litigation, while Thais de Barros Meira is particularly skilled at advising on the tax aspects of M&A transactions. A key contact for transactional matters, Luis Henrique Costa focuses on corporate tax and international taxation, the latter of which is an area of expertise for Felipe de Albuquerque Destri.
