What People Say

Kumar’s ability to wade through minute details of facts and the application of law is reassuring.

Chambers Asia-Pacific

Kumar is absolutely fantastic. We have been able to get really good outcomes.

Chambers Asia-Pacific

Kumar Visalaksh is well regarded by clients for his litigation strategy. His ability to anticipate issues sets him apart from many other tax partners whose approach is largely reactionary rather than preventive. Kumar’s approach in running diagnostics to create a mechanism for the early detection of issues is a true value-add for clients. An approach which is preventive rather than curative is what clients love about Kumar.

Legal 500

Kumar Visalaksh and [Rohit Jain] have exceptional knowledge in the subject and are able to straddle their tax advisory and litigation roles with finesse.

Legal 500

I have known the ELP Tax Team and its partner, Kumar Visalaksh, for over 10 years. What sets them apart is their ability to wade through a maze of complex tax issues and simplify and offer realistic and practical solutions.

Legal 500

In the Indian tax space, where advisory and litigation are separate arms, Kumar Visalaksh, the tax partner is one of those few individuals who very easily navigates both. Kumar’s knowledge of Indian taxation is phenomenal. He has not only advised us on complex issues but has also tested it in court. In fact, he is one of the few advisors who regularly appears and argues matters in courts and tribunals across the country. Kumar also brings a lot of integrity and honesty in his advice and professional duties.
