Galicia Abogados S.C.

Galicia Abogados S.C.‘s tax department stands out for its full-service offering, combining high-level consulting, controversy and litigation capabilities. The tax team is recognised both as a standalone powerhouse and as a strategic partner to the firm’s transactional practices, including M&A, capital markets, and real estate. The consultancy side, co-led by Gabriela Pellón and Federico Scheffler, delivers tax structuring and other specialised tax advice for domestic and cross-border deals in regulated sectors such as banking, infrastructure, and energy. Eduardo Michán is another prominent figure who regularly advises commercial and investment banks as well as private equity funds. On the contentious front, the group continues to strengthen its offering, with Edson Uribe playing a leading role in VAT disputes, tax contingency management and administrative appeals against tax assessments. The litigation and controversy sub-practice is led by Denise Lester, who leverages strong relationships with tax authorities for defence filings. The practice’s tax consultancy offering is further strengthened by a strong bench of associates, including Sebastián Ayza, Eduardo Espinosa and Ivonne Montaño. Since publication, Espinosa has been raised to the partnership, with effect from February 2026.
