DLA Piper Mexico
DLA Piper Mexico’s revamped tax offering is gaining a foothold in the market since the hire of Guillermo Aguayo from White & Case S.C. in January 2022. He brings experience in complex tax matters relating to cross-border and domestic M&A and corporate reorganisations to a firm whose international footprint draws a high-profile multinational client base. While best known for its non-contentious offering, the team is also gaining profile with regard to tax investigations. Associate Ricardo Mendoza supports Aguayo on the full range of matters; lawyer and accountant Fernando Velázquez is an additional associate contact.
