Mexico > Tax
(Leading partners)The tax law offering at Hogan Lovells‘ Mexican offices is characterised by standout strength and experience in tax controversy, but has -more recently- developed its non-contentious capabilities, providing a rounded service to its multinational client base. Income tax and double taxation conventions, VAT on the export of services by Mexican residents to foreign residents, and indirect taxation are all areas of particular strength. Department head Arturo Tiburcio is a veteran fiscal specialist and focuses on tax consultation, income tax audits, VAT, and international tax issues. For transactional tax matters, Monterrey-based Jaime Espinosa is the key contact. Further expertise is provided by senior associates María Teresa Garza and David Esquivel, who both handle a mix of tax and tax audit advisory matters, along with contentious tax and associated administrative litigation. Former counsel Francisco Palmero left the firm in September 2024.
