Nishith Desai and Bijal Ajinkya lead the tax practice at Nishith Desai & Associates. Desai has been praised by many in the tax profession for his expertise in international tax and corporate law.
The firm's tax lawyers are experienced in advising on structuring and strategic tax planning, particularly regarding cross-border transactions. The team also handles tax controversy cases.
Desai and Ajinkya are advising a large private equity client on a transfer pricing assessment, where the arm's-length price is being challenged by the tax authorities. Innovative approaches implemented include the introduction of transfer pricing cross-examination, using economists to support the arm's-length price charged, and the use of foreign comparables.
