Emerging from Bofill, Mir & Álvarez Jana’s March 2022 dissolution, Bofill Mir Abogados’ ‘very decisive’ six-member tax department has significant international taxation experience. The group also regularly advises on restructurings, M&A-related tax structuring, tax disputes, and national and international planning, and is particularly noted for its tax advice to mining sector clients. Guillermo Fonseca focus on transactional matters from a tax perspective; and the practice of recently-elevated partner Jorge Valenzuela incorporates investment structuring advice for international entities. 2022 also saw senior tax associate Josefina Da-Bove re-join the firm from an in-house position in August, following the departure of former fellow senior Paris Norambuena in April. Since publication, Fonseca and Valenzuela have left to establish their own firm - effective as of February 2024.
