About Victoria Rodrigues

Tax planning is the heart of Victoria Rodrigues's work, both inside Canada and across borders. As a partner in the National Tax Group at Gowling WLG in Toronto, Rodrigues guides corporate reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions and financings, and also plans the tax affairs of high-net-worth individuals and families.

A good share of the practice reaches beyond Canada. Rodrigues advises on international tax questions such as foreign affiliates, and on non-resident trusts that have a connection to Canada, keeping those arrangements compliant while making the structure work as efficiently as possible. One representative file involved structuring a complex cross-border spin-off of assets held in several foreign jurisdictions.

Called to the Ontario bar in 2015, Rodrigues joined Gowling WLG's Toronto tax group as a partner, arriving with a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School and an honours B.A. from the University of Western Ontario, where Rodrigues graduated as a gold medalist.

Rodrigues makes a point of working closely with clients through hard tax problems and giving them clear, practical answers tied to their business and financial goals. Beyond client work, the partner writes and speaks often for Canadian and international audiences, with articles on foreign affiliate dumping, the CRA's voluntary disclosures program and discretionary trusts. Clients can work with Rodrigues in English or Portuguese.
