Tax Litigation
Tax issues virtually lie under every business operation, plan and transactions – whether it is domestic or international or cross-border. Tax rules and regulations are more than considerations, most of the time they are the driving force behind a business strategy, structure and deal completion. It is easier to have a specialist by your side to navigate through the territory of legal tax planning. Our team of expert tax lawyers support clients from advising on strategy to resolving disputes. SLF advises businesses and individuals on every step of the tax enquiry process from instigation of the enquiry through its ultimate resolution, whether by negotiation or dispute resolution or litigation. Our lawyers also deal with the claims that are outside the purview of the enquiry process and have represented clients on all levels of tribunals and courts.
Direct expertise of SLF covers all aspects of domestic as well as international tax matters including transfer pricing. Our experts design a technically sound and customized structure for clients so as to achieve their business objectives keeping in mind the tax and regulatory compliances.

SLF has helped companies across various sectors with the transitioning process of GST. SLF also advises clients on Custom duty, foreign trade policy and export control & trade sanctions.
