BLP‘s tax team remains the first port of call for leading domestic and international companies seeking advice on all tax issues arising from their operations in Honduras, with notable strength in the energy, oil and gas, and non-profit sectors. The team is particularly active in advising on tax and customs planning and compliance, including obtaining exemptions under Honduras’ special fiscal regimes, but its wide-ranging practice also extends to administrative and judicial tax litigation and the tax aspects of corporate transactions and construction projects. Lilian López, who has a wealth of experience in international trade, tax and customs matters, leads the team with Jorge Brizuela, a high-profile name for tax and customs disputes. Associates Norma Amador and Jorge Moreno are also noted.
