I engaged Rafael A. Lafont Castillo of Holland & Knight to advise on a complex tax issue involving assets held in both the United States and Colombia. Despite his relatively recent admission to the Texas bar, Rafael's depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. His unique professional background, practicing tax law in Bogotá and now in Houston, proved invaluable. He seamlessly navigated the intricacies of both jurisdictions, providing clear, strategic advice that was far from generic. Rafael meticulously analyzed our corporate structure, identified significant exposure areas we had overlooked, and crafted a proactive compliance strategy. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Tax Law is well-deserved; his expertise is precise and current. What stood out was his ability to explain dense tax regulations in practical business terms, empowering us to make informed decisions. He was consistently responsive, professional, and demonstrated a level of diligence that belied his years of experience. The outcome was a robust, defensible tax position that saved our company substantial future liability and provided immense peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Rafael for any individual or business facing sophisticated tax planning challenges, especially those with an international component.
