Garrigues’ Portuguese tax practice has garnered plaudits from the international directory for the second year, and is included in the group of top-tier firms, taking its place alongside the tax practices of the big four audit firms, among others. Fernando Castro Silva, managing partner of the firm’s tax group in Portugal, earned recognition as one of the leading specialists in capital markets.
