Lawyer Rankings

Mexico > Tax

As a cog in the firm’s international network of offices, the tax team at Holland & Knight LLP assists multinationals operating in Mexico with both domestic and international tax services. The practice also has tax-controversy capability that is experienced in supporting clients through audits by the Mexican tax authority. Co-leader of the practice Eugenio Grageda receives considerable praise from clients who highlight that ‘his practice is very strong in international issues’. Fellow practice co-head Mario Barrera has experience in both tax advisory and contentious matters. The team was strengthened in April 2023 when – as part of the firm’s hire of a sizeable group to its Monterrey office – tax consultancy and litigation expert Jose Ricardo Ibarra Córdova joined from Sánchez Devanny. Key associate support comes from Catalina Mandujano and Miguel Rosas.
