A leading firm in Venezuela, D’Empaire’s tax group provides a wide range of tax planning for corporate and private clients on the tax implications of domestic and cross-border transactions. It also excels in tax litigation and on international tax matters. The group was, in fact, part of the Venezuelan team that concluded the negotiations of the US-Venezuela tax treaty.
During the research period, the
D’Empaire
tax team was active in tax controversy matters.
The firm is currently
representing Weatherford
in several
high profile tax litigations in relation to
municipal tax assessments. Due to the economic climate in Venezuela, many oil & gas companies are being targeted by local tax laws.
The
D’Empaire team
challenges these
assessments in hopes to set a precedent for
other oil & gas companies with operations in the country facing similar tax assessments.
“The level of legal service is very high, the professionals are excellent and have total expertise. They also are very committed with the timelines for the completion of the services.”
