Lawyer Rankings
Mexico > Tax
A strong base of Mexican companies and family offices look to SMPS Legal for the full suite of tax advice, from litigation to transactions. For tax consulting, Jorge San Martín is the name to note; his practice encompasses tax and business planning – including M&A, as well as corporate reorganisations focusing on permanent establishments and other tax-related cross-border matters. On the litigation side, Luis Curiel Piña is the lead partner; his workload includes requests for tax credit refunds and undue payments, appeals for revocation, and audits before the tax authorities, among other matters. Francisco Carbajal rounds out the trio of practice heads and his burgeoning practice covers both advisory and contentious matters. In December 2022 the team was bolstered further with the return of senior associate Leonardo González from Grant Thornton UK LLP.
