Trench Rossi Watanabe is a firm specialized in all areas of tax with tax litigation as one of its most important practices. The firm also has expertise in international taxation. This expertise is further supported by their relationship to Baker McKenzie, which allows the firm to provide global tax solutions to Brazilian multinationals that are acquiring businesses and starting to invest abroad. The team assists different industry sectors, Automotive, Oil & Gas, Technology, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Banking & Finance and Infrastructure.
During the research period, the firm advised
Croplife Brasil with the purpose of intervening as amicus curiae in a lawsuit filed by a political party - The Socialism and Freedom Party - before the Federal Supreme Court (ADI n. 5.553/DF). This case is a leading case that discusses the constitutionality of federal regulations that grant tax benefit/relief for agrichemicals/agriculture defensives, as part of Brazil's fiscal policy created to aid, boost, foster and promote production and competitiveness for the agricultural sector.
The firm promoted two senior associates: Beatriz Almada Nobre de Mello and Marcelle Silbiger de Stefano. Additionally, it promoted Telírio Saraiva to partner.
