About Me

I am a tax advisor with almost 20 years of experience in advising domestic and multinational companies, on corporate income tax, withholding tax (WHT) and VAT purposes. I focus on tax disputes and tax risk management.

I have significant experience in advising domestic and foreign clients in tax audits, pre-litigation and judicial settlements, and defence before tax courts. My areas of expertise include corporate and group taxation, M&A and business restructuring, VAT, registration tax and application of double tax treaties.

More recently, I have also been focusing on tax risk management and have assisted several companies in defining and implementing tax control frameworks.

I am also a co-author of client alerts and articles on tax litigation, tax risk management and tax news.
