About
Provided by ALMA Law
Alma Law is engaged in complex national and cross-border cases, both on litigation and advisory matters.
Our Tax practice values itself for partnering with the clients and understanding their needs. We are seen as extremely business-oriented and cost-effective, and this is directly connected to the heritage of the partners – all of them have past experience working for Big Four accounting firms. Attention to the details and a strong academic background is also something to be noticed, as we aim to design out of the box and tailor-made solutions for each situation.
In this sense, we highlight Luciana Aguiar´s experience with corporate and tax governance, where the review of policies and assistance in negotiating tax regimes with Federal and State authorities is seen as a plus by clients. Alexandre Monteiro´s strong academic knowledge is a guarantee that the most complex tax litigation cases will be handled properly, and Francisco Moreira´s transfer pricing and indirect tax experience provides the guarantee that the client supply chain will be handled from the beginning to the very end from a tax perspective.
Our practice is multidisciplinary, assisting clients in various fields such as financial services (banks, asset management, etc), oil & gas, retail, stock exchange, pharmaceuticals, construction, energy generation, leasing, industry in general, and others.
