Consortium Legal‘s tax practice remains a force in the market, harnessing the deep bench strength of locations in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua to advise insurers, banks, non-bank lenders, and local and multinational corporates (including Cemex and Walmart) on a diverse spectrum of matters across the practice space. With a client base spanning such sectors as energy, consumer products, tech, infrastructure, retail, shipping and building materials, the firm’s comprehensive service extends to the tax aspects of high-value, cross-border transactions and major infrastructure projects (including toll roads and port concessions), transfer pricing, judicial and administrative litigation, tax compliance and customs processes. The team is led by Diego Salto, who brings over 28 years of experience to the tax space; transfer pricing expert Rafael Luna; and tax litigation coordinator Anayansi Mora. Felipe Guevara, who was elevated to the partnership in May 2024, is a key name for customs processes and high-value infrastructure projects.
