Despite the firm’s ongoing process of service-offering diversification, tax law remains the undoubted cornerstone practice at Chevez Ruiz Zamarripa and it retains its position as a go-to choice across the full range of contentious and advisory matters in Mexico. With offices in Houston (U.S.) and Madrid (Spain) as well as Querétaro, Monterrey and Mexico City, the sizeable team of lawyers, accountants and double-qualified professionals assists a client base of leading industrial, commercial, and financial groups, including several Fortune 500 companies. On the tax litigation front, the team handles all forms of defence against the tax authority, as well as the filing of different alternative dispute resolution procedures, both under domestic law and in accordance with international agreements signed by Mexico. Audit procedures are also managed by the department. On the advisory side, the team supports its transactional counterparts on the gamut of tax issues. Practice head Manuel Sainz is a veteran of the market having spearheaded the establishment of the tax-legal department at the firm. Alongside him, Ricardo Cervantes is a key partner for tax controversy, which constitutes a major part of his dispute resolution practice; Ricardo Rendon , from the corporate and M&A team, is strong on transfer pricing and other transactional tax matters; while lead litigator Pablo Corvera assists with tax and administrative litigation, as well as managing federal tax audit procedures.
