(Next Generation Partners)Brigard Urrutia’s tax practice covers the waterfront for contentious and non-contentious tax work, with strong offerings in transactional tax — where it can act in tandem with the wider firm’s dominant corporate practice — as well as tax planning, tax litigation and day-to-day matters. The team additionally stands out for its cross-border expertise, with clients highlighting its ‘capacity and experience to carry out highly complex work on international tax issues’; notably, both domestic and multinational companies utilise its multi-jurisdictional tax capability. Among the group’s recent international highlights, sought-after tax litigation head Catalina Jaramillo represented BlackRock subsidiary, Concesionaria Santa Marta Paraguachón, in landmark litigation against the tax office, following its ruling that the double tax treaty between Colombia and Mexico is only applicable to companies and individuals and not funds. The three-partner group also draws on Daniel Duque, who was elevated to the partnership in July 2023 and is highlighted for his ‘outstanding analytical skills’; and Andrés Hernández, who is noted for tax advisory and tax planning for both domestic and foreign clients. Key support is provided by intermediate associate Nicolás Mondragón. Former partner Adrián Rodríguez left the firm in August 2024 to establish his own boutique.
