Standout practitioners include: Gerardo Nieto, a veteran practitioner who has led on various precedent-setting tax cases; Alejandro Barrera, who 'has extensive experience in tax planning', along with international taxation and transfer pricing; Gil Zenteno, one of themost experienced and best recognised names in the market across the full range of tax work; Sergio Barajas, who is regarded as 'very knowledgeable in all aspects related to international trade and customs regulations'; Víctor Barajas, a counsel to Fortune 500 companies on the range of tax controversy matters; 'excellent tax litigator' Norberto Ruiz; and Francisco Matus, who excels in transactional tax matters.
