Tax
The ‘extremely agile’ tax group at Lloreda Camacho & Co. frequently supports the firm’s corporate team on transactional tax matters. Other practice sweet spots include tax planning and contentious work. The department is led jointly by Ignacio Santamaria — whose practice is informed by his additional leadership of the natural resources, foreign trade, and customs groups — and senior associate Andrea Vargas, who joined in July 2023 from MPV Abogados. Senior associate Juan Fernando Díaz is also noted. Former senior Luis Felipe Paredes left to go freelance in July 2023.
