The tax team at LAC Legal works closely with the firm's corporate department to provide comprehensive advice on the tax elements of M&A, the tax-efficient structuring of multinational corporations and consortia, regulatory compliance, and disputes with the tax authority. Recently, the firm has been increasingly active in cross-border transactions, supporting US and Latin America-based clients from the finance, insurance, real estate, energy and construction sectors. Managing partner Javier Mitre Bethancourt, whose broad skillset takes in tax compliance and tax fraud prevention, leads the team with Raúl González, an expert in transfer pricing and tax incentives who joined from Baker Tilly in November 2024. Associate Roberto Jaen is also noted.
Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The team have specialisms in diverse areas.'
- 'The team that has helped us has been able to provide support on issues we don't understand. Compared to others, I can add that they provide responses and follow-up more promptly.'
- 'They stand out for their knowledge and understanding of important topics - not only the day-to-day knowledge, but also the ability to master laws and information that other lawyers don't know or understand. Other firms would have to make a greater effort to provide the necessary support; this means wasting time and, most likely, greater costs. I would like to highlight Javier Mitre and, for the follow-up and management aspect, I would like to thank Roberto Jaen.'
- 'They are available to assist with my requirements and expectations.'
- 'What makes them unique is the standard of the service - they are very detail-oriented.'
- 'I always feel supported and they explain the entire process.'
