Firm overview

SanintRivas is best known for its commitment to deliver value to its clients. Our team knows how to deal with complexity and think strategically about our client´s business, and the dynamics of the Colombian and international tax regulation environment.

We understand in depth corporate law, tax law and transfer pricing and how they interact. We also have a strong basis in accounting, finance and business projections. As in the standard of the industry most of the attorneys focuses on laws and regulations, it is of tremendous value to find advisers who have a vision that goes beyond that scope and who are capable to articulate legal necessities with the business objectives of an organization. Our mission is to identify and facilitate our clients to grow through innovative and disruptive strategies.

What makes our practice different from those only focused on compliance matters is that we are providing strategic advice covering how to (i) set a comprehensive corporate tax and/or transfer pricing policy adapted to our client’s demands and market, (ii) meet any requirement regarding compliance matters, and (iii) meet the formal and substantive national and international standards of a tax audit. We emphasize that corporate tax and transfer pricing advice should go along with the general corporate and tax policies of the client.
