Tax
The full-spectrum tax practice at Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA) is lauded by clients for its ‘strong knowledge of the current applicable regulations’, which ensures it provides a ’diligent and robust defence in administrative and judicial processes’. Alongside its formidable tax litigation capability, the group houses equally robust offerings in tax planning, transactional tax, transfer pricing and also in specialist areas, such as labour-related tax. Firm managing partner Mauricio Piñeros fronts the tax department and is equipped to advise on transactional tax, tax audits and litigation, among other matters; he recently advised Isagen and Atlas Renewable Energy Colombia on the tax structuring of its $1.2bn joint venture to develop 1GW of renewable energy in Colombia. Tax litigator Álvaro Andrés Díaz is a key contact for contentious work and specialises in representing national and international clients in tax disputes. The four-partner team additionally draws on the senior experience of Carolina Bobillier, who contributes niche expertise in labour-related tax and the special tax regime appliable to non-profits; and Alejandro Sanabria, who was promoted to partner in January 2024 and is noted for international tax and corporate finance tax. A deep pool of dedicated practice associates includes seniors Alejandro Sotello, Javier Orozco and Carlos Lemos.
