Praised as ‘unmatched in the Portuguese market’, the tax group at Garrigues Portugal is routinely sought after by clients in the banking, real estate, technology, and insurance sectors. The team is recognised for its adept handling of market-defining M&A transactions and complex tax disputes, regularly representing clients before administrative, judicial, and arbitral courts. At the helm of the practice is a trio of experts: Pedro Miguel Braz, who boasts a strong track record in proceedings before the European Court of Justice; Fernando Castro Silva, who specialises in corporate tax and transfer pricing; and Miguel Cortez Pimentel, who focuses on international tax and M&A matters. Key support is offered by José Diogo Mégre Pires, who is noted for his involvement in structuring high-profile transactions and projects across Portugal. António Pedro Braga joined from Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva & Associados in October 2024.
