Following the integration of Sánchez Devanny, Garrigues has significantly strengthened its tax practice, expanding both its advisory and contentious capabilities. Key additions to the Mexico City team include Guillermo Villaseñor, a leading tax litigator with a longstanding track record before PRODECON, the Federal Administrative Court, and courts of justice; Mariana Eguiarte-Morett, who advises multinational clients on tax matters related to M&A, corporate restructurings, and project finance, and stands out for her deep expertise in VAT, special goods, services tax, and transfer pricing; Luis Antonio González Flores, who brings extensive experience in domestic and international tax audits and refund processes; and Jorge López López, known for his strong background in tax litigation. Other notable members include Ricardo León Santacruz, who advises on a wide range of transactional tax matters, and rising corporate tax specialist Arturo Garza Mátar, both based in Monterrey. In Querétaro, Abel Mejía provides international tax advice to foreign clients. Counsel Ricardo Fernández de Arellano offers experience in international tax and litigation across both Mexico and Spain, while senior associate Iñigo García serves as the main contact for transfer pricing in Mexico City, and Mario Ríos specialises in tax litigation at the federal level.
