Alvarez & Marsal’s Latin America Complex Transactions Tax team assists clients with their investments in and out of Latin America. The team focuses on tax strategies for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity, intra-group transactions and reorganizations, supply chain, start-up and technology tax and general cross-border tax matters across the region.

The region is an attractive market for multinationals seeking acquisitions or investment; however, geopolitical and economic vagaries across the landscape add complexity. Similarly, Latin American companies expanding into the United States seek help in understanding its unique tax regulations.

With nearly every transaction having tax consequences across a multitude of tax jurisdictions, companies need to be prepared for the tax complexities of operating in Latin America.

The Latin American Complex Transactions tax practice employs cross-country and cross-practice professionals who bring a unique combination of local, regional and international knowledge of tax regulations, understanding the full complement of transactional tax implications from pre-closing tax planning to post-closing structuring and exit strategies. 

A&M’s Tax professionals bring years of experience in helping clients quickly navigate the increasingly complicated tax landscape in Latin America.
