A leading firm in Venezuela, D’Empaire’s tax group provides a wide range of tax planning for corporate and private clients on the tax implications of domestic and cross-border transactions. It also excels in tax litigation and on international tax matters. The group was, in fact, part of the Venezuelan team that concluded the negotiations of the US-Venezuela tax treaty.

During the research period, the D’Empaire tax team was active in tax controversy matters. The firm is currently representing Weatherford in several high profile tax litigations in relation to municipal tax assessments. Due to the economic climate in Venezuela, many oil & gas companies are being targeted by local tax laws. The D’Empaire team challenges these assessments in hopes to set a precedent for other oil & gas companies with operations in the country facing similar tax assessments.
