Tauil & Chequer Advogados fields a versatile tax team that advises a broad mix of domestic and international clients from a wide range of industries, most notably energy and oil and gas. The department covers both advisory and contentious tax work, including customs matters, at the federal, state and local levels, and often advises on cross-border investment planning, import and export issues, direct and indirect tax matters, and tax disputes before judicial and administrative bodies. The practice is jointly led by Ivan Tauil, Eduardo Maccari Telles, who specialises in tax litigation, and Guido Vinci, who handles both tax planning and litigation. Carolina Bottino, a key contact for oil and gas clients, assists with customs and litigation issues regarding ICMS, while Diana Castro is noted for her experience in indirect taxation, international tax and customs matters. Celso Grisi left the firm in December 2024, while Diego Miguita joined from VBSO Advogados in September 2024.
