嘉理盖思哥伦比亚被评选为税收政策领域美洲最佳团队
《国际税务评论》认可了嘉理盖思为哥伦比亚和国际机构提供的战略事务方面的咨询服务
嘉理盖思哥伦比亚的税务部门荣获了美洲年度税收政策团队（Americas Tax Policy Team of the Year）奖项。颁奖典礼于昨晚在纽约举行，美洲大陆十二个国家的主要事务所都有参与，包括美国和加拿大。
International Tax Review, one of the most prestigious tax law publications, awarded the distinction to Garrigues, citing the firm’s advisory services to both Colombian and international institutions in strategic matters for the country. This includes the firm’s work concerning the incentives policies for regions heavily affected by the Colombian conflict, as part of the economic development framework following signature of the peace agreement.
Garrigues was a finalist in several different categories, along with other firms from the Americas. In particular, Garrigues made the short list for Tax Firm of the Year in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico and for Americas Indirect Tax Firm of the Year, while César Cermeño was a finalist in the Americas Tax Litigation & Disputes Practice Leader category and Camilo Zarama was up for the Americas Tax Leader of the Year award.
Camilo Zarama, the partner in charge of the tax practice in Colombia, called the award and the other nominations a “clear recognition of the work carried out by the entire Tax Law Department and of the experience gained through the firm’s many offices. It is a privilege to have access to this vast pool of knowledge.” The tax area comprises 485 professionals worldwide and accounts for one-third of the firm’s invoicing.
Javier Ybáñez, partner in charge of Latin America, expressed his gratitude for the award and stated that “these good results reflect Garrigues’ successful strategy in each Latin American country in which we operate, as well as the firm’s strength and potential in the region, which clearly sets it apart in the legal market.”
