Tax

Baker McKenzie has a longstanding reputation for its wide-ranging tax capabilities, covering transactional work, global reorganisations, and wealth planning, as well as tax litigation, transfer pricing, and real estate taxation. The team’s broad scope, alongside its ‘international perspective and its ability to coordinate complex cross-border transactions’, attracts instructions from an ever-expanding client base, including market-leading technology, financial services, and energy companies, to name a few. Jointly steering the department are tax litigation and VAT expert María Antonia Azpeitia and Bruno Domínguez, who specialises in tax and wealth planning. Rodrigo Ogea is a name to note for transactional and reorganisation matters, while Javier Blázquez is a key point of contact for e-commerce businesses seeking assistance with tax audits.
