Tax
Parra Rodríguez Abogados’ firm-wide focus on the aviation sector marks it as a popular choice to advise major airlines and aviation leasing companies on tax law, including United Airlines and Aercap. The tax group also continues to grow its share of non-aviation work, with strong recent showings in the technology, infrastructure and life science spheres. Álvaro Parra possesses extensive experience in both advisory and contentious tax matters, with notable expertise in aviation and financial services-related issues. Parra co-heads the group alongside María Margarita Parra, who specialises in tax, real estate and administrative law. Associate Juan José Goyeneche left to join Due Legal in December 2023.
