Arias has a full-service offering and network of offices across Central America, making it a strong choice to advise foreign investors in the region on the gamut of tax issues. The team acts as local counsel to an array of prominent multinationals on cross-border M&A transactions, as well as assisting with restructurings and compliance, and it is also a standout in customs matters. The firm is equally active in tax litigation, leaning on the vast expertise of dispute resolution head Mario René Archila
to handle complex contentious-administrative cases against the SAT. At the helm of the practice, Ximena Tercero is well versed in transfer pricing, tax structuring and litigation. She is supported by a capable pool of junior lawyers, including senior associates Elisa Lacs, a specialist in customs tax, and the recently promoted Claudia Vega, and associate Estaymer Mendoza, who joined the firm from an in-house role at Grupo CFE in June 2022.
