Boutique firm MPV Abogados is widely regarded as a go-to for contentious tax. Key areas of expertise include challenging official assessments, transfer-pricing litigation, royalty and production disputes, and filing and defending administrative appeals. The group also handles regulatory compliance and advisory work. It further boosted its service offering in February 2025 through its association with four other boutiques – Ibarra Abogados Rimon Law, Prias Cadavid Abogados, Quintero y Quintero Asesores and Torrado Angarita & Pinzón Abogados – to form Signature Legal Group. High-profile founding partner Mauricio Plazas Vega possesses ‘the best knowledge of when it's worth engaging in a discussion with the tax authorities’, according to clients. Other key figures include María Catalina Plazas who heads tax litigation; Mateo Vargas, director of the wealth management unit; and Mauricio Mendoza Méndez, noted for tax concerning non-profits.
