ECIJA stands out for its ability to provide a broad range of tax advice in highly regulated industries such as oil and gas, automotive, manufacturing, real estate and retail, in both direct and indirect tax matters. On the contentious side, its tax litigation often involves matters reaching the tax authority, revocation appeals, nullity actions and customs litigation. Paola Robalino and Édgar Méndez lead the team together with Santiago Vega, who is experienced in VAT refunds. Robalino is active in the energy sector and brings vast tax experience to the team, and Méndez is notable for appearing in the group’s key tax planning mandates.
