Consortium Legal
More informationConsortium Legal is renowned for the depth and breadth of its tax offering, using the firm’s full-service and multi-jurisdictional model to its advantage when advising on a wide range of local and cross-border tax matters. Commended by clients for its ‘knowledge and experience in international taxation’, the team frequently advises on the tax aspects of foreign investments, including M&A and real estate transactions, and related issues such as customs tax and transfer pricing. The firm also has an enviable reputation in tax litigation, handling both civil and criminal cases before Guatemala’s highest courts. The four-partner team includes Alfredo Rodríguez (who has extensive experience in transactional tax), Olga María Meléndez (a standout in both contentious and non-contentious matters), Mario Estuardo Archila (a high-profile name for tax disputes) and David Erales (who leads the tax litigation practice). Associate Alejandra Fuentes-Pieruccini garners praise for her expertise in cross-border matters.
