Tax
According to clients, tax boutique Montaña & Consultores Asociados ‘creates a shield that significantly reduces the number of discussions that come before the courts’. Regarded by many as a leader in its niche, the team specialises in representing regional public-sector entities — such as municipalities and departments — on tax matters, including urban financing systems. Less frequently, the group also acts for companies. The department is led jointly by general director of the firm Magda Cristina Montaña, who is an expert in urban tax law; and practice director Andrea Monsalve, who combines strength in tax, public finance and administrative law.
