Consortium Legal's ‘versatile’ practice runs the gamut of tax matters, from tax compliance and exemptions to litigation before the SAR and the Ministry of Finance. Counting major local and multinational companies from the energy, retail, food and beverages, transport and banking sectors among its clients, the team is adept at advising on tax issues relating to corporate restructurings (including handling multi-jurisdictional mandates alongside the firm’s other regional offices) and the closure of operations. The firm also has a thriving tax disputes practice, with extensive experience in challenging decisions by the municipal and national tax authorities and a strong recent record in transfer pricing litigation. Practice head Armando Manzanares has a wealth of expertise in contentious and non-contentious tax matters, while Patricia Solórzano is another key name at top level. The strong cohort of junior lawyers includes senior associate Grossnie Velásquez and associate Aida Sierra.
