Alexis Lujan is a J.S.D. candidate at Yale Law School, where he earned his LL.M. degree in 2024. He obtained his LL.B. from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), graduating summa cum laude. Prior to the LL.M. and J.S.D. programs at Yale Law School, Alexis worked for several years as a tax advisor at a multinational consultancy firm. He also authored a book on the ethics of tax law interpretation, challenging the use of aggressive interpretations of the law to avoid taxes.
Alexis’s research interests lie at the intersection of statutory interpretation, legal ethics, and international tax law. His dissertation focuses on the ethical standards and regulations governing the use of aggressive legal interpretations in designing or approving international tax planning strategies. Alexis’s work highlights the existing inconsistencies in the regulation of international tax planning services and calls for new rules to raise the professional ethics standards applicable to this area of practice. In 2024-2025, Alexis served as a Fox Visiting Fellow at the University of Melbourne, where he presented his ongoing research at major tax conferences in Canberra and Sydney.
