At VdA, the tax team is well positioned to advise clients operating in a wide range of sectors on the full range of matters, including tax structuring for major transactions and landmark tax disputes. The practice is overseen by Francisco Cabral Matos, whose experience spans transactional tax mandates, international tax planning and disputes. Cross-border advisory work, particularly in relation to major transactions and investments involving international funds, banks, insurance companies and real estate groups, is a core area for Tiago Marreiros Moreira. Miguel Reis handles both contentious and non-contentious tax issues, while Joaquim Pedro Lampreia is a highly regarded tax litigator. Additional senior input is provided by João Velez de Lima, a key contact for energy, industrial, real estate and telecoms sector clients, and by senior counsel Conceição Gamito, whose practice centres on VAT.
