Tax
Consortium Legal's ‘highly specialised' tax team combines its expertise in advisory, contentious and compliance issues to offer wide-ranging tax services to a host of multinational clients from sectors including financial services, media, aviation, manufacturing and consumer goods. In particular, the firm stands out for its stellar record of representing clients in disputes with the SAT, including in high-profile cases before the Constitutional and Supreme Courts, concerning VAT, transfer pricing and income tax, among other issues. Advising on tax incentives and the tax structuring of M&A transactions is also a core area of expertise. The sizeable team is led by an experienced quartet of partners – Alfredo Rodríguez, Olga Meléndez, Mario Estuardo Archila and David Erales (who focuses on tax litigation). The talented line-up of associates includes Alejandra Fuentes-Pieruccini (who specialises in international tax law) and Emilio De León.
