We represent our clients’ interests in tax disputes at all administrative and judicial instances and with regard to all taxes, including social security contributions.

Our strategy revolves around three pivotal approaches: resolving conflicts; identifying opportunities; and managing liabilities.

Resolving tax-related conflicts demands readiness, assertiveness and ingenuity. Shortly after our first contact with the case, we provide our client with an analysis containing a summary of the dispute, defense strategies, and risk assessment.

Identifying opportunities is crucial when it comes to tax matters, given the intricacies of the country’s tax system and the potential impact on competitive dynamics among market players. For this reason, we work closely with clients to strategically map out the most effective solutions for optimizing their tax burden.

In addition, we streamline the management of our client’s tax liabilities by proposing effective tax savings so that they can focus on the continuity and development of their businesses. Our team specializes in conducting and negotiating tax settlements and in proposing tax liability deals – innovative solutions that can revolutionize our client’s tax liability management.

Tax and social security advisory serves as the best safeguard against unexpected costs, while also offering a valuable opportunity to streamline the tax burden, which brings a wide-ranging competitive edge to our clients.

Given the dynamic nature of the tax arena, our tax advisory lawyers work closely with clients, aiding them to foresee new costs and risks ensuing from tax regulatory developments and from shifts in the interpretation given by tax authorities and by administrative and judicial courts to tax issues.

Our tax advisory services blend data analysis technology with a focus on assisting clients in making strategic decisions. We consistently communicate in a clear, concise and straightforward manner, tailored to the business world.

The multidisciplinary expertise of our team allows us to provide tax advisory services on a number of fronts, such as:

• monitoring of the client’s routine implementation of tax regulatory changes (taxes on consumption, income and wealth);
• new business acquisition and corporate restructuring events;
• tax implications of capital market transactions and of applicable regulations;
• inbound and outbound investments, with special emphasis on the alignment of Brazilian legislation with the OECD and other international standards;
• tax planning for new local and international businesses, including by innovation and technology companies;
• identification and assessment of special tax regimes, benefits and incentives;
• tax optimization in real estate transactions;
• alternatives for companies under judicial reorganization;
• monitoring of the client’s tax compliance;
• follow-up on tax inspections and procedures;

Wealth management for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and family offices has become a reality in the business world, given the relevance of their investments.

Also in this realm, our work is geared towards a multidisciplinary approach spanning from taxation to contractual, corporate and succession planning issues.
