Tax
The tax team at DLA Piper is ‘of a solidity and cohesion that is difficult to find’ and provides tax advice across a range of key issues, often in collaboration with the firm’s corporate, M&A, private equity, real estate, and finance groups. It is also a popular choice for multinational companies seeking advice on cross-border transactions under transfer pricing rules, with César Salagaray being a key contact in this regard. Carlos Rodríguez leads the team and is an expert in international tax planning matters, both for foreign investments in Spain and Spanish investments abroad. Other standouts include Miguel Baz, who has particular expertise in the real estate sector where he advises on the structuring, due diligence, and tax modelling of transactions, and Guillermo Bailach, who handles M&A-related tax matters.
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The DLA Piper Spain tax team is of a solidity and cohesion that is difficult to find. Each member complements the others because each one brings great value in the work to the client. They have extensive experience in the industrial sector. Likewise, they are a key piece in any restructuring process that the company contemplates since their extensive experience in M&A makes them aware of all the aspects that must be covered in any purchase or divestment.’
‘Carlos Rodríguez, with whom I have collaborated in the past on other initiatives, is a lawyer who understands the practical needs that arise in a multinational. I highlight his proactivity, practical approach and transparency when managing matters.'
