Bruchou & Funes de Rioja supports local and international clients on all aspects of tax law, including tax planning and structuring, as well as representation in tax litigation at administrative and judicial level. The team is frequently sought out to advise on migrating tax residences out of Argentina and has built a strong reputation for expertise in the tax aspects of cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets, with transactional tax advice another active area. The practice boasts a deep roster of talent and is led by influential tax litigator Liban Kusa, who advised President Javier Milei on tax policy through the presidential campaign. Ezequiel Lipovetzky, an expert in transactional, asset management and high-net-worth tax matters; corporate and cross-border tax specialist Daniela Rey; and Nicolás Nogueira Castellini, a customs and tax litigation lawyer, provide further partner-level support, with transactional tax partner Pablo Muir rounding off the senior team. Senior associates Maximiliano Yudica Bartels (who advises on tax planning, among other areas of tax law) and Josué Antu Aguilar (who focuses on contentious tax matters) are the main contacts at junior level.
