People Move thumbnail

María Cortizas has joined Dentons as a partner in its tax practice in Spain to advise clients on the tax structuring of M&A deals, restructuring projects and capital markets transactions.

Cortizas comes from Linklaters, where she was a tax consultant for 11 years. Before that, she was a senior manager in the M&A department at KPMG.

She advises on the tax structuring and planning aspects of major transactions, including restructuring, corporate reorganisations, cross-border tax planning, initial public offerings (IPOs) and acquisitions by private equity houses and real estate funds.  She also provides tax due diligence and represents clients in tax disputes and appeals before Spanish courts.
