Working in close collaboration with the capital markets, M&A and investment funds practices, the tax team at Pinheiro Guimarães is adept at advising on the tax implications of domestic and cross-border transactions. Tax planning and non-contentious tax matters concerning energy projects are other areas of focus for the department, which is jointly led by Daniela Melo Fassheber and Rafael Xavier Vianello. Fassheber specialises in tax planning and transactional mandates, the latter of which is a core strength for Vianello.
