"Nelson worked very well with Chevron's staff throughout the 40 countries in Latin America in which we operate. He handled a complex re-structuring (creation of a Bermuda holding company structure) which required technical know-how (U.S. tax law expertise), project management skills (coordination of a multi-discipline project team (legal, finance, corporate governance, marketing)) and inter-personal skills effectiveness. Nelson coordinated work with Deloitte staffs in the numerous locations, government contacts and with Chevron personnel. I found him a pure joy to work with--- always punctual, always focused on the achieving the benefits of the projects and driven to provide quality efforts and results"
Joe Reid, Tax Planning Coordinator, Chevron Texaco, Corporation Tax Planning
"Nelson has the ability to organize in simple terms complex financial analysis and the implications for taxes in a multinational setting. He provided several strategies that resulted in substantial savings on the implementation of an automation project for a major oil company in Venezuela. Knowledge of legislation treaties between the USA and Venezuela as well as careful structuring local content work, resulted in significant savings for the company. We have worked closely with him, over almost 4 years to conduct our income tax review while at Honeywell. His knowledge base, leadership, ethics standards and team player characteristics are such that I can strongly recommend this individual as an international tax consultant advisor."
Francisco Antelo, Former Regional Vice President Honeywell

"I have had the great pleasure and good fortune of working with Nelson Rincon for a substantial number of years on a great variety of tax issues that cover the spectrum from specific tax matters to structuring major projects and transactions. I have great respect for Nelson's analytical skills and knowledge of Venezuelan tax law and his ability to conceive of and apply imaginative solutions to complex tax situations.
I have also found it extremely easy to work with Nelson because, in addition to the intelligence he applies to the examination of tax issues, he is extremely congenial, cooperative and real problem solver. If Nelson were a lawyer, I would have asked him to join our firm long ago.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Nelson as a first-class tax practitioner, and believe that this addition to your tax practice will be an invaluable asset to your firm."

"Nelson was by far the most creative tax and entity structuring professional I have ever encountered. He has a fantastic command of the tax and legal structures of many countries, which enabled him to develop very creative means to handle very difficult tax issues. I wish I was still working with Nelson, he was one of the best colleagues I ever had the pleasure to work with."
