About

Provided by Trilegal

Our multidisciplinary team offers comprehensive advice on legal aspects of direct and indirect taxation to navigate a complex regulatory regime. 

We have a strong tax practice that draws on the expertise of our multidisciplinary team of lawyers. We understand the complex legal aspects of direct and indirect taxation, and specific issues that emanate from an evolving tax environment. Given the interplay of tax law with other regulatory regimes, especially those impacting the commercial aspects of businesses, we advise clients in line with their specific business needs. ​We regularly advise clients on several direct and indirect taxation areas, such as tax advisory, tax controversy​, due diligence, advance pricing agreements, M&As, international tax and transfer pricing structuring and controversies, advance rulings, appeals, and prosecution and litigation. 

We work with the tax, finance and legal teams of major domestic and multinational companies on an array of issues, such as structuring foreign investments and joint ventures, tax implications on EPC and tariff-based projects, business transfers, import and export of raw material, capital goods, finished goods and services, and supply chains
