Our focus on specialisation even touches on matters not usually covered by other firms. For example, our R&D&i tax advisory team, which is a specialty in which we were pioneers in its creating.

We provide services to more than 3,600 clients, and, regularly, provide advisory services to the main IBEX-35 companies and high-profile multinational groups.

We are very well known in relation to Transfer Pricing issues, with one of the largest departments with more than 60 professionals in this area.

The Transfer Pricing (TP) practice has a strong presence both in Madrid and Barcelona, with 50 professionals (three partners) exclusively dedicated to transfer pricing matters. Twenty additional international and M&A tax professionals work alongside the TP team to provide seamless advice to our clients.

Our goal is to be recognized by our clients as responsible advisors of reference in TP and International Tax; to that effect, we adapt our services and expertise to the needs of the changing world in this new era in International Tax. Considering the post-BEPS scenario, we take the view that Transfer Pricing and International Tax are to be considered holistically to provide our clients with value-added advice that derives from the interaction between and synergies of both areas of expertise.
