Pradeep Kumar Jain commented in the release: “We are fortunate to have a diverse team comprising of Lawyers, Company Secretaries and Finance Professionals, and most with dual qualifications. I feel that Indore Office is one-stop shop for all compliance and regulatory needs of our clients, especially with respect to GST, which is slated to be the biggest economic reform since Independence. The Indore Office will be a hub of Indirect Tax practice of the Firm, while it would continue to provide services on all other areas as well.”

Jain added in the release that the team in Indore will now focus on “advising on transitional provisions, hand holding through the process of GST transition, post GST compliance checks and dispute resolution related to implementation of GST”.

When the Indore office, Singhania’s tenth, opened last year its focus was on general corporate advisory, forensics and white collar crimes.
