Chevez is a strong choice for tax advisory and litigation services, specialising in both federal and local tax matters, and is frequently instructed by industrial, commercial and financial groups. Boasting a deep bench, with lawyers stationed in offices in Mexico City, Monterrey and Querétaro, the firm handles a broad range of contentious work, including challenges to tax assessments, administrative appeals, annulment proceedings and amparo actions before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice and the Federal Judicial Branch. It is also skilled in the use of ADR mechanisms, such as MAPs and BAPAs, and has particular expertise in transfer pricing and double taxation matters. On the advisory side, the practice assists with the tax implications of corporate restructurings, spin-offs, joint ventures, M&A transactions and infrastructure projects. Leadership of the team is split between veteran tax litigator Manuel Sainz and tax consulting specialist Luis Manuel Ramírez. Also noted are Ricardo Cervantes, Pablo Corvera, Daniel de la Parra , César de la Parra and Alfonso García, all of whom primarily focus on tax litigation; César Fares, who handles tax consulting; and Ricardo Rendón, a specialist in transfer pricing. January 2026 saw the promotion of tax litigators Claudio Cárdenas, Israel Bastida, Ricardo Herrera (in Monterrey) and Santiago Coste (in Querétaro) to the partnership. All named lawyers are based in Mexico City unless otherwise specified.
