Tax
CMS Rodríguez-Azuero’s tax practice is lauded for ‘proposing solutions designed for the client and not for the firm’. International tax is a significant strong suit, with the team able to lean on its global platform for support on multi-jurisidictional issues. The group also specialises in transactional tax, customs tax, tax litigation and general advisory work. Santiago Arbouin leads the customs law and trade unit as well as the overarching tax department, which equips him to advise on international tax, customs tax and double taxation treaties, among other matters. Associate director Nicole Ríos and practice co-ordinator Natalia Recio provide support.
