Further support is provided by ’excellent lawyer’ Tomás Kovacevic who was raised to the partnership in March 2022 and whose experience includes some three years at the Ministerio de Hacienda; experienced tax counsel Magdalena Munita; and -at senior associate level- Maria Lucia Marraccini, a former Ministry of Finance tax policy adviser, and Mauricio Bascuñán, who focuses on tax disputes. Former senior associate Fernanda Becker left the firm in October 2022.
