As well as advising multinationals and local businesses, Bergstein Abogados also provides tax advice to individuals and regularly handles wealth management matters.

The team has strength in corporate taxation and in-depth knowledge of the tax and transfer pricing implications of restructurings, the establishment of new entities and the expansion of operations. The tax treatment of e-commerce and internet platforms are other specialist areas of expertise, and the team counts technology companies among its clients. Domingo Pereira leads the team, advising an extensive roster of national and international companies on tax planning, wealth management and interactions with the tax office. He also has a wealth of experience representing clients before the Supreme Court of Justice and the High Administrative Court. Jonás Bergstein advises companies on international tax planning, with a background in project finance and M&A. Senior associate Guzmán Ramírez has a proven track record in tax litigation, having participated in high-profile cases.
