Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie maintains a prominent position in the Venezuelan market, offering a broad range of tax and wealth management services. The team is well regarded for its advice to major multinationals on tax issues affecting their local operations, and has recently seen a marked increase in activity in transactional tax matters, particularly in the oil and gas and liquor and spirits industries, drawing on deep expertise in these sectors and the strength of its international network. The group is led by Caracas managing partner Ronald Evans, who also oversees the firm’s global wealth management group, and has extensive experience in complex international tax matters, including the tax implications of cross-border transactions and investments. Other key members include Serviliano Abache Carvajal, who takes the lead on local tax matters (both advisory work and litigation), Manuel Marín, an expert in customs issues, and senior associate David Mongiovi.
