Mannrich e Vasconcelos’ highly specialized lawyers use their legal expertise to add value to clients’ businesses, positioning the practice of law as a tool for sustainable economic development.
Our tax litigation practice represents clients with a creative and strategic approach, considering case law, cost-benefit, and extralegal factors such as economic impact data.
In the administrative sphere, our practice is led by Carlos Henrique de Oliveira, former president of the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals (CARF), whose experience encompasses complex topics, including social security disputes, income tax issues, and other intricate matters.
We also maintain a dedicated team in Brasília for representation before the Superior Courts, which includes a former clerk at the Supreme Court (STF). In São Paulo, our office is strategically located near the Federal Courts, enabling our team to engage proactively.
In the tax advisory domain, our team provides comprehensive support across the routine operations of companies, including tax planning and the structuring of new business. We also structure compensation plans in collaboration with our labor practice, including stock options and restricted stock units, for example.
Our key clients include leading companies in the healthcare sector, the chemical and beverage industries, agribusiness, and payment systems.
In administrative litigation, we have been involved in some of the most significant tax law cases, addressing issues such as the deductibility of expenses, goodwill, and profit-sharing plans.
Our tax advisory team have actively engaged during the legislative process of the sales tax reform in Brazil and is currently providing advisory services to companies to ensure their adaptation to the new system.
The latest years were marked by the growing demand from our clients regarding leading cases before the higher courts. Amongst others matters, we highlight our participation representing several “amici curiae” admitted assisting the Supreme Court on a wide range of relevant topics, such as the unconstitutionality of tax fines. Additionally, we were retained by Abrasca to represent the association's interests as amicus curiae in a leading case before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) concerning the taxation of stock options. This case required an innovative strategy from our firm, including the use of economic arguments, and resulted in a favorable outcome for taxpayers.
