Since I started to work in a multinational law firm, I have been providing tax advice to corporate groups as well as big companies in the national and international field. This job has given me the facility and the experience to identify tax opportunities in national and international tax planning. During my experience in Irwin Mitchell I have had the opportunity to help non resident investors with interest in Spain and national investors with interest abroad prior-during-after their investment. At this moment an important activity that we are developing from the Tax area are the claims before the European Court of Justice in order to defend the interest of foreign clients for national laws against the European principles and we are happy to receive a positive resolution for most of them.

Tax Law is a complex field that requires a high specialisation and huge knowledge of the different national and international tax laws in order to give the client qualified advice. In my opinion a tax lawyer should not centre his activity in the fulfilment of the tax formalities but also needs to identify possible advantages for his clients, to have a proactive attitude and reach the client's necessities through efficient tax planning.
