Baker & McKenzie has reinforced its Asia Pacific Tax practice group with the hire of Michael Nixon, who joins Baker & McKenzie.Wong & Leow as a Transfer Pricing Consultant focused on work in the region.

“It is our pleasure to welcome Michael to our Tax practice. His 13 years of experience in transfer pricing and business restructuring projects in both Asia and Europe make him a great addition to our team. The expansion of our team allows us to offer a full service to clients in the areas of transfer pricing and valuation projects,” said Eugene Lim, Principal and Head of Tax and Wealth Management at Baker & McKenzie.Wong & Leow.

“We’re thrilled to have Michael join us,” said John Walker, Head of Baker & McKenzie’s Asia Pacific Tax Practice. “With the addition of his extensive knowledge in transfer pricing to our current offering,  this is a great opportunity to enhance our tax platform and service to our clients in the expanding Asia Pacific market.”

Michael commented, “In light of the growing internationalization of multi-national corporation operations and the fiscal constraints of today’s governments, regional tax authorities are becoming both more sophisticated and strategic in their engagement with taxpayers. Transfer pricing is becoming an increasingly important factor for clients when planning their regional tax strategies and I’m very excited to be able to contribute this experience to Baker & McKenzie, a Firm that has been seriously forging its brand name in the tax scene for several decades.”
