Within: Tax
Differentiated by its âgenuinely national coverageâ (the 70-strong practice operates from five offices), Baker McKenzie S.C. demonstrates a âgood understanding and handling of technical aspectsâ along with âexcellent management and follow upâ. Advising on the full spectrum of tax matters, the team acts for a primarily foreign clientele who appreciate the firmâs one-stop capability and the fact that âits lawyers are both local experts and plugged-in to an international network that ensures they are right up to dateâ. It is, however, the practice groupâs profound capability in transfer-pricing matters that is a major differentiator from the majority of other firms. The Mexico City office includes the head of the firmâs regional transfer-pricing practice Carlos Linares who has âenormous expertiseâ (and can draw on the support of the firm's principal economist, TP-specialist MoisĂ©s Curiel), as well as Roberto Cardona who is âtop tier in the tax litigation areaâ. The âactiveâ Jorge NarvĂĄez Hasfura, a member of the Global Value Added Tax steering committee, is also a key practitioner. His recent matters include assisting Ensco Drilling on the SATâs decision to disallow income deductions for intercompany servicesâ expenses; resolved before PRODECON, the team achieved a 90% reduction in the liability. NarvĂĄez and Linares also teamed up to advise Adidas de MĂ©xico on a further transfer pricing-related denial-of-deduction case, valued at $20m. Also highlighted is head-of-team Luis Carbajo, âan all-round international tax professionalâ who focuses on complex issues in the energy sector; his recent work includes advising KBR on a major tax liability and associated out-of-court settlement; and Lear Corporation on a large tax inspection and assessment, administrative challenges and a local, post-acquisition corporate restructure. Other key figures in the sizeable group include HĂ©ctor Reyes, who also has extensive experience of international tax planning, M&A and cross-border transactions, and intercompany pricing; and Ulises Castilla, a former head of contentious matters at the SATâs department for major contributors who has over 20 yearsâ experience advising on tax strategy (he also undertakes litigation). Other clients include PKC Group, Anadarko, KBR, Damen Shipyards, WR Grace & Co., and WestRock Company. The firm also hired the very experienced RocĂo Perez-Nava, as a senior associate, from the SAT; she also has extensive experience as an in house at Televisa. Since research concluded, tax planning and advisory practitioner Ronaldo Moya has left the firm.
