Professional Background

Carlos Bender has been practicing in the Tax area since 2013, with broad experience in both administrative and judicial tax litigation at the federal and state levels, as well as in tax and customs advisory services for companies across various industries.

Before joining the firm, he worked for three years as a consultant at a tax advisory and audit company, during which time he also participated in an international program at the firm’s headquarters in New York.

Carlos was also seconded for nearly a year to one of the world’s largest oil, gas, and energy companies, an experience that provided him with direct exposure to the practical application of tax and regulatory obligations from a business perspective.

His distinguishing strength lies in combining solid legal expertise with accounting knowledge and a strong understanding of key ancillary tax obligations. This integration facilitates the connection between legal aspects and the practical procedures required by tax authorities, including the handling of accounting and tax documentation.

Carlos continuously pursues professional development, with notable specializations from the São Paulo Association of Tax Studies (APET) and the University of the Brazilian Institute of Petroleum (UnIBP). He has also completed the practical customs broker training course at Abracomex and regularly participates in major conferences and events focused on the most relevant discussions in the tax and customs system, including developments related to the Tax Reform.
