Consortium Legal stands out for the breadth of its tax offering, with expertise spanning municipal taxes, transfer pricing, direct and indirect taxation, customs issues, and disputes. The team frequently assists major regional and global clients with the tax structuring of M&A transactions and corporate reorganisations, tax exemptions and compliance with international agreements, and administrative and judicial litigation (with significant skill in transfer pricing disputes). The highly experienced Armando Manzanares, who is frequently called upon to advise on the tax aspects of project finance, concessions and M&A, leads the team, while Patricia Solórzano is particularly noted for her specialism in the oil and gas sectors. At junior level, senior associate Grossnie Velásquez and associates Aida Sierra and Oscar Manzanares provide capable support.
