When we step in
Common situations

There is a tax assessment, fine, ruling or administrative act that has to be reviewed to determine how to defend it.

There is a presumption, restriction, procedure or tax exposure that could affect operations, reputation or any later defence.
What it covers
Scope of service
Administrative appeals and defences before the competent authority
Administrative litigation proceedings before the competent courts
Submissions, evidence and strategies to rebut or clarify, according to the applicable procedure
Amparo, complaints and other remedies where legally available
The route is chosen after reviewing the act, the file, the deadlines, the evidence and the impact each option has on the client.
How we work
From the file to the strategy
01
Review of the act and the deadline
We analyse the ruling, the notification, the background and the technical documentation before recommending a route.
02
Choosing the defence
The strategy may involve an appeal, court proceedings, amparo, a clarification request, negotiation with the authority or a combination of these, depending on the case.
03
Evidence and follow-up
We prepare the arguments, coordinate the evidence and follow the engaged stage through, along with whatever appeals apply.
Frequently asked questions
What to review before deciding
How long do I have to challenge a tax or administrative act?
The deadline depends on the act, the authority, the procedure and the route chosen. It should never be worked out generically: we review the ruling and the notification before fixing a date.
Is it better to exhaust an administrative appeal or go to court?
It depends on the nature of the defect, the available evidence, the objective and the effect of each route. The recommendation comes from the complete file, not from a standing rule.
Can enforcement be stayed or held off while the matter is defended?
In some cases a stay, a guarantee or interim protection is available. Whether it applies, what it requires and what it costs depend on the act and the route used.
