Tax

Tax advisory services address a general and permanent demand put through by both individual persons and corporations, whose businesses and interests require due legal management of risks and opportunities related to taxation.

The steep complexity of tax legislation in Brazil, as well as the worldwide-high tax levels which shape the tax burden brought upon investors doing business in Brazil, demand from the tax attorney not only high technical and academic levels, but also broad experience linked to the matters related to the tax management of businesses and assets.

Tax litigation comprises a large dimension of tax management in Brazil, since in the Brazilian system the normal path followed by tax assessments, which are issued by the tax authorities, is to be submitted to a trial before an administrative or judicial court. In such a context we put at the disposal of our clients a team of experienced litigation lawyers, all of which are duly licensed by the Brazilian Bar Association, and accredited as certified legal practitioners in the highest courts of the country.
