About Ippolito

IPPOLITO ADVOGADOS is a law firm founded in 1992 by Marcelo Baeta Ippolito. We focus our practice on tax law for business clients. Our services include tax consulting and tax litigation at both the administrative and judicial levels.

Because of the professional experience of our founding partner, who worked in the tax consulting area at Arthur Andersen, our services have always been marked by a deep knowledge of accounting and accessory tax obligations. This knowledge is fundamental for the interpretation, understanding and application of business tax law and case decisions.

At IPPOLITO ADVOGADOS, we use our professional team’s technical knowledge and abilities to conduct tax procedure reviews for companies as part of our regular practice. These reviews help our clients identify potential liabilities, as well as find opportunities to reduce their tax burden while strictly complying with the law.

This deep and practical knowledge allows us to thoroughly understand our clients’ needs and to excel while providing detailed and in-depth services to our clients, identifying solutions to their tax problems and defending their interests in administrative and judicial litigation.

Our tax and corporate law departments work together closely to serve our clients’ corporate law needs through services such as incorporation, corporate restructuring, spinoffs, mergers and acquisitions. Our tax department regularly evaluates these corporate events ahead of time to determine whether they are feasible and the best way to conduct them.

Our civil (advising, contracts and litigation) and employment law (advising and litigation) areas also work in close support of our tax law department to meet our clients’ needs.

Recognition

Análise Advocacia 500 Yearbook

“The Análise Advocacia 500 [Legal 500] yearbook is the largest and most important survey of the Brazilian legal market. In order to identify the most admired law firms and lawyers in Brazil, Análise Editorial conducts a detailed survey each year with the people who know best: law firm clients.

The Análise Editorial team contacts in-house counsel at the largest 1,500 Brazilian companies and asks them to vote on the law firms and lawyers they most admire, regardless of whether they use their services. This results in a unique overview of the legal services available in Brazil and of who, in the opinion of the companies that hire them, the most highly-qualified law firms and lawyers are.”
