Morales & Besa’s tax offering has evolved out of the firm’s substantial transactional practices to become a four-strong standalone department consisting solely of specialist tax lawyers. The team is experienced in tax advisory work, contentious matters, and major transactions involving complex, cross-border tax issues. The practice is led by recently-promoted partner and tax transactions expert Santiago Martínez, whose career includes working in the tax team of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton’s London office. Key senior support is provided by experienced tax counsel Gracia Curtze.
