(Leading individuals)BLP‘s ‘highly collaborative‘ tax team is commended by clients for its ‘extensive knowledge and experience in the field‘, which takes in tax litigation, structuring and compliance. Representing taxpayers in disputes with the SAR forms a key pillar of the practice, and the team also advises an array of multinationals and financial institutions on the tax aspects of M&A and project financing, and tax exemptions and credits (particularly in the clean energy space). The practice is led by the experienced duo of Lilian López, who handles the full spectrum of international trade, customs and tax matters, and Jorge Brizuela, a high-profile name for tax issues in the energy sector. The talented group of associates includes Fernando Gómez (who stands out for his ‘clarity in explaining the most technical issues‘) and Norma Amador (who brings two decades’ in-house experience at the SAR).
