Sánchez Devanny

Spread across the firm’s various offices, Sánchez Devanny's substantial offering sees clients noting the practice’s ‘knowledge of tax matters and experience in handling matters before the tax authorities’, which stand it in good stead to assist with audits and litigation. The group is also accomplished at providing support on cross-border transactions involving tax treaty interpretation, transfer pricing and foreign tax credits. Matter highlights include work with significant cross-border components, with practitioners drawing on varied professional experience at the Mexican tax administration, as well as global law and accounting firms. Ricardo León Santacruz maintains a broad transactional tax practice from the Monterrey office. He co-leads the practice in conjunction with Abel Mejía in Queretaro, and Mexico City partners Guillermo Villaseñor, a tax litigator; Mariana Eguiarte-Morett, who advises on inbound and outbound taxation, consumption taxes, and dealings with the tax authority; and Luis Antonio González, whose advisory practice is centred on on national and international tax audits, and tax refund processes. Jorge Lopez (national & international corporate tax; wealth management) is among the younger partners to note; while senior associate Pedro Miranda (transactional tax; tax litigation and controversy) provides key support. Former industrial partner Emilio Garcia left the firm in February 2024. Notably, the firm is currently in negotiations regarding a possible merger with Garrigues’ Mexico office.
