Alta QIL+4 Abogados' tax team takes advantage of the firm’s full-service model to provide a comprehensive offering to clients, frequently joining up with the top-flight corporate and banking departments to advise on the tax aspects of M&A, corporate and real estate restructurings and financial transactions, particularly international deals. Tax litigation forms another key pillar of the practice; the team is well versed in handling contentious-administrative proceedings challenging decisions taken by the local tax authority (SAT), as well as defending clients against criminal complaints. Practice head José Quiñones has ‘vast experience' of assisting major multinational clients with the tax structuring of corporate and financial transactions, and is also sought after for his advice on tax compliance. Senior associate Otto Ardón provides capable support across the full range of tax matters, from transfer pricing issues to disputes.
