What it is
Tax law is law. Defense belongs to an attorney.
The accountant brings numbers and compliance: books, payroll, routine returns. That matters. It does not replace legal defense. When the DIAN notifies, when there is an administrative act, or when the case goes to litigation, representation and criterion are set by a tax attorney. At Ligal that work is led by Juan Santiago Rodríguez Prieto, a tax attorney and former DIAN official, from Calle 99 in Bogotá.
Ligal mixes both crafts without confusing them: attorneys for criterion and defense, and LIGAL Auditores (Law 43 of 1990) for accounting operations if you need them. In the 22 Google reviews (5.0 / 5), clients usually highlight clear explanations, close attention, and technical level.
When you need one
- A DIAN requirement, summons, or assessment has arrived.
- The company is growing and nobody discusses the tax criterion.
- A big decision is coming: reorganize, sell, bring in investment.
- The accountant files well, but the question is now legal.
- The reform moved the statute and the scheme is out of date.
- You want to speak with someone who knows the DIAN's language.
What Ligal does
Advise today and defend tomorrow. Without changing firms.
The director is Juan Santiago Rodríguez Prieto, a tax attorney and former DIAN official. He designs strategy knowing how an audit looks at a case. Ligal is one of the few tax firms with reviews that positive on Google: 5.0 / 5 with 22 client reviews.
02
Legal criterion, in writing
The tax position is formalized with a legal memo and supporting documents. Every decision with its own file, so tomorrow's answer never depends on anyone's memory.
03
DIAN defense
Requirements, summons, reconsideration and revocation appeals and, when the case demands it, tax litigation. The same firm that advised is the one that defends.
04
Ongoing counsel
For companies that need criterion all year: an obligations calendar, review of decisions before executing them, and a point of contact to call before filing.
What we do not do
There are limits. Saying them is part of the craft.
We do not promise outcomes with the DIAN
The outcome depends on the case, the evidence, and the applicable statute. What we do guarantee is technique, compliance with deadlines, and a complete defense.
We do not force a change of roles
If you already have a trusted accountant, they stay. We work with them. If you need accounting operations, LIGAL Auditores can take them on under Law 43 of 1990, with its own professional rules.
We do not design structures without substance
Structures with no real business reason end up in a statement of charges. The ones with substance must be documented rigorously from day one.
The differentiator
Attorneys for the law. Auditors for the numbers.
Ligal's differentiator is mixing legal and accounting work without confusing roles. LIGAL Abogados defines and defends the fiscal criterion before the DIAN. LIGAL Auditores, public accountants under Law 43 of 1990, can run books, payroll, routine returns, and statutory audit. Accounting brings compliance; it does not replace legal representation.
Already have a trusted accountant? They stay. We work with them, not against them.

FAQ
The tax lawyer, without small print
They interpret tax law, design the fiscal strategy within it, and defend it when the DIAN disputes it. The work is legal: setting the criterion with the statute in hand, documenting it, and answering for it in an audit. Bookkeeping and routine returns belong to the accountant; the criterion belongs to the attorney.
Tax law is law. Before the DIAN, an administrative act, or litigation, you need an attorney, not only an accountant. The accountant brings numbers and compliance; that does not replace legal defense. Ligal mixes both: attorneys for criterion and representation, and LIGAL Auditores (Law 43 of 1990) for accounting operations if you need them. If you already have a trusted accountant, we work with them.
Because strategy is designed better when you know the counterparty. Juan Santiago Rodríguez Prieto worked at the DIAN and knows its methods, its timelines, and its language. That experience does not guarantee outcomes, but it does prevent naive positions: every stance is built to withstand the audit.

When a requirement or an administrative act arrives, when the company faces a decision with major tax impact, when a reform moved the statute it was operating under, or when the business questions are no longer answered by accounting but by law.
Yes. Ordinary and special requirements, summons, reconsideration and revocation appeals and, when the case demands it, nullity and reinstatement actions before the administrative courts. The power of attorney is granted and the firm answers for the deadlines and for the technique of the file.
