Message

At Cisneros Arias Legal, I advise clients on tax, corporate, commercial and regulatory matters. I recovered over USD 1M in tax credits through administrative claims before Ecuador’s tax authority, drawing on my previous work as a Legal Analyst at Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI).

As an Accredited Mediator, I conducted over 1,000 proceedings, and I trained more than 450 professionals in compliance, tax law and preventive legal strategy. I also write a column for Forbes Ecuador and have published academic work in Spain and Ecuador.
