Disputes between taxpayers and the Japanese taxation authorities have been on the rise in recent years. The importance of careful tax planning and preparation of appropriate documentation in anticipation of potential future disputes with the taxation authorities can not be over-emphasized. With the development of increasingly complex commercial transactions, particularly in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations and structured financings, it has become important for legal advisors that want to offer "one-stop service" to include representation on tax matters among the services they provide. Mori Hamada & Matsumoto has significant experience in handling tax disputes, including successful representation at the district court level of taxpayers in a recently reported and ongoing nation-wide litigation brought by the Japanese taxation authorities. Lawyers in our tax practice group also assist with tax advice in relation to a variety of transactions handled by the firm. The firm expects significant growth in this area of practice and plans to increase the number of lawyers and other professionals in its tax practice group in order to establish the firm as a leader not only in tax litigation matters, but also in tax planning and transactional matters.
"Mori Hamada & Matsumoto is experienced at handling tax disputes. The firm also offers tax advice to clients in complex commercial transactions particularly where M&A, corporate reorganizations and structured financings are involved." - Legal 500
