Full-service advice in all areas of Tax Law.
In addition to our expertise in general consultancy services, Direct and Indirect Taxes, and tax, judicial and administrative litigation, our team counts on professionals with solid experience in different areas of Tax Law, with emphasis on our strategic consultancy for: (i) business structuring in Brazil and abroad (which includes partnerships with renowned law firms and tax advisors in the United States, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe); (ii) review of the supply chain and supply chain of different economic groups (which includes the analysis of logistics operations, enforcement of international treaties and tax incentives at all levels of the Federation); and (iii) assistance, from a tax perspective, in corporate reorganizations, in Brazil and abroad.
Our team is structured in a different way and consists of a combination of professionals who have built their careers not only in large Brazilian full-service offices, tax boutiques and audit companies, but also in multinationals.
