Praised by clients for its ‘experience in all tax and customs issues‘, EY Law Central America leverages its regional and global networks to advise an array of multinational clients on tax matters throughout Central America, Panama and the Dominican Republic. The team is widely recognised for its strengths in tax advisory work (particularly assisting with the due diligence and structuring of M&A transactions), compliance and transfer pricing, but also has a rapidly growing tax controversy practice. Guatemala managing partner Manuel Ramírez steers the team and has strong skills in international taxation and transactional tax; he is supported from the Costa Rica office by managing partner for Central America Rafael Sayagués and Randall Oquendo, who leads the tax controversy practice in the region. Experienced senior manager Ana Alfaro and manager Carlos Díaz-Durán are the key names to note for tax litigation.
