Eugenio Grageda
Holland & Knight LLP4
Tax
A 'practical, fast and experienced' team handles tax law at Holland & Knight's offices in Mexico. The department is a key component of the firm’s wider offering in tax law across North America and internationally, assisting multinationals operating in Mexico with both domestic and international tax services. Clients appreciate the 'incredible strategic thinking' of Eugenio Grageda (international and local tax, private wealth & wealth, offshore tax compliance), who now shares leadership of the practice with Ricardo Ibarra (who is well versed in domestic and international tax matters as part of his broader corporate practice), following the October 2024 departure of former practice co-head Mario Barrera in Octobre 2024. The associate pool was strengthened in October 2023 by the addition of Alonso Pelayo from Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C.; intermediate Miguel Rosas is also a name to note. Former senior Catalina Mandujano left the firm in September 2024.
