Aguilar Castillo Love wins strong praise for its ‘ability to propose creative and innovative solutions’ to the full range of transactional and contentious tax matters, acting for leading regional and international players in the energy, mining, telecoms food and beverages and construction sectors. Drawing on the strength of the full-service firm’s corporate and litigation departments, the team is skilled in advising on the tax aspects of M&A and restructurings, and also has a stellar record of representing clients in high-stakes disputes with the Honduran tax authority (SAR), including handling a precedent-setting recent case relating to transfer pricing. Office managing partner Enrique Rodríguez Burchard and Juan José Alcerro Milla lead the team, with strengths in the tax structuring of corporate transactions and in tax litigation, respectively. Up-and-coming partner Victor Alejandro Martínez is also a key name, particularly for tax disputes.
