Mrs Clara Jiménez > Pérez-Llorca > Madrid, Spain > Lawyer Profile

The ‘powerful‘ tax team at Pérez-Llorca is a key point of call for Spanish and international investment funds, business groups, family-owned companies, and private individuals seeking advice on an array of tax issues, including those arising from audit procedures, M&A transactions, as well as disputes with tax authorities. Recently, the team has also been advising on matters stemming from the introduction of the corporate income tax law regime and on international taxation under the BEPS action plan. The department is led by Clara Jiménez, who has expertise in tax litigation, audits, and tax ruling negotiations before the tax authorities. Other key experts include Barcelona-based Norma Peña i Bagés, who advises on international taxation and contentious matters; José Ramón Vizcaíno, who handles a range of corporate taxation matters, often on a cross-border basis; José Azqueta, a key contact for private equity houses on transactional tax advice; and José Suárez, a seasoned tax practitioner who often handles tax proceedings. The team was bolstered in June 2023 by the addition of a strong team of tax specialists from GTA Villamagna Abogados: Felipe Alonso Fernández, a reference in the market; Javier Povo, who focuses on tax litigation, personal income tax and wealth management; and Antonio Ruiz, a contact for real estate taxation and transactional matters.
