World Tax Reviews

Overview

The team at Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu has a strong capability in handling tax litigation matters. Its practice covers general corporate tax, indirect and transactional tax. It has six partners dedicated to tax matters, many of whom are tax lawyers exclusively. Shigeki Minami is one of the key partners in the team. Shigeki focuses on M&A and deals with general tax matters. 

The team recently successfully represented NGK Insulators before the Tokyo High Court in a transfer pricing litigation that involved ¥14 billion. The work included requesting cancellation of a tax adjustment administered by the Japanese tax authority.

Two special advisors Mamoru Toba and Hiroshi Kaneko left the firm during the research period.
