Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie‘s four-partner team provides ’responsive, clear and technically strong advice’ across a broad range of standalone advisory and transaction-based work, including in relation to private equity, debt and real estate matters. In this context, it is recognised as ‘the “crème de la crème” in international taxation’, often forming part of a formidable multi-office team utilising resources throughout the firm’s vast tax competence. The ’extremely knowledgeable and creative’ Diogo Duarte de Oliveira is able to blend tax, accounting and legal knowledge to develop solutions across a range of cross-border work and is particularly skilled at structuring within the alternative funds space, as well as private wealth work for Latin American clients. Antonio Weffer ‘is influential on the market’ within the international tax space, chiefly as a result of his formidable reputation for transfer pricing matters. Leveraging his accountancy credentials, tax principal Amar Hamouche is also a key member of the team and is appreciated for his ’solutions-oriented advice’ on tax structuring associated with M&A and real estate transactions, as well as for work in the private wealth sector. Olivier Dal Farra, who was promoted to partner in July 2023, is also recommended for his ability to provide ‘creative and robust approaches to tax issues’, both in relation to international tax planning and in connection with strategic organisation and M&A transactions.
