ECIJA GPA has notable experience in the energy sector and is retained by major companies in this space to advise on tax issues, including the negotiation of VAT refunds, litigation, audits, planning and M&A. Besides energy, the firm is also active in the telecoms, real estate, retail and automotive sectors. Leadership of the team is divided between tax authority investigations specialist Paola Robalino in Quito, seasoned litigator Édgar Méndez in Guayaquil and commercial law expert Santiago Vega in Cuenca. Jessica Dillon backs these efforts from Quito, specialised in tax assessments and due diligence, supported by recent associate arrivals Norka Patiño and Soledad Isch, who joined in January 2022 and May 2022, respectively. These moves offset the loss of former associate Alberto Vivanco, who left in May 2022.
