More informationHighlighted by clients for its ‘customised approach’, the tax team at Lexincorp is well versed in assisting regional and international companies with the tax structuring of their Honduran operations and disputes with the SAR, frequently joining forces with the corporate and litigation departments. The firm’s focus on the projects space has also opened up a core source of tax mandates, including advising on tax exemptions for foreign investors in the transport and infrastructure sectors.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team's best qualities are their specific understanding of the requirements and the lawyers' treatment of their clients. Benito Zelaya stands out for his empathy for the client's point of view and ability to find solutions when issues that require particular attention arise.’
‘Usually firms proceed to request the documentation to prepare taxes and in the process they give their assessment; with Lexincorp, first they provide an analysis to the client, then go on to the options and scope of the matter, and then the cost to start off with. I think that this is a customised approach.’
