The next line of experienced advisers includes Antonio Guzman, whose practice includes the application of tax regulations to technology companies; Javiera Suazo, a former Ministry of Finance tax policy division head; and the ‘committed and very competent’ managing director Gloria Flores and experienced director María Francisca Nogueira (both 2023 recruits from Recabarren & Asociados).
