“I am proud to be able to join the TRS&M team, contributing with my expertise to the growth of the Firm. The current tax context in Argentina and in the world leads us to be very attentive to changes as well as identify opportunities for improvement that optimize the tax burden by making a reasoned evaluation of the impact on the business. That is the challenge and the reason why we will be close to our clients,” Leonel said.
“With the addition of Leonel, TRS&M prioritizes a comprehensive approach to the tax perspective and focused on the business, not only seen from the legal perspective but also from the economic one, supplementing the view of the tax managers of the companies that choose us,” said Marcelo Tavarone, managing partner of the Firm.
“The appointment of Leonel as a partner is great news for the TRS&M Tax Department, thus becoming one of the few multidisciplinary tax departments in the legal market in Argentina,” said Gastón Miani, partner of the TRS&M Tax Department.
