Janis Zelmenis
Tax and finance is one of the key practice areas of the firm and we provide comprehensive services with respect to all kinds of banking and financing transactions.
Since tax issues arise in all phases of a business cycle, the tax practice is closely involved in all other practice areas of the firm. This enables us to offer tax efficient solutions while respecting the client’s business objectives and complying with tax law requirements. We also have extensive experience of obtaining formal and informal advance rulings from the tax authority to avoid future disputes.
Our banking and finance team has advised both local and international clients, including banks and other financial institutions. Our advice includes assistance to banks with syndicated loans documentation, as well as assistance with regulatory matters. As our clients comprise local government authorities and governmental agencies, we also have experience in financing PPP projects.
Besides transactional work, our tax practice is renowned for having a strong litigation capability that forms an important cornerstone of our tax work. We actively advise clients in all phases of tax investigations and court proceedings. Experience in tax litigation also facilitates assessing tax risks and structuring transactions efficiently and securely.
BDO Law managing partner Vita Liberte has been awarded the highest recognition of professionalism- the nomination “Highly Regarded Women in Tax 2021” by the global ranking organization ITR World Tax.
