Mika Ohtonen is a Helsinki-based Partner and Head of Roschier’s Tax & Structuring practice. He is widely acknowledged for his in-depth expertise and broad experience in M&A, private equity and real estate tax structuring and planning. He has extensive experience in working with matters related to cross-border transactions (both in- and outbound) and international taxation. Mika is constantly involved in high-end tax planning, including preliminary tax ruling procedures, related to acquisition structures, investment funds, financing and financial instruments, restructurings of distressed assets and management and employment incentive plans. Over the last few years Mika has been increasingly engaged by a number of clients to assist them in their tax audit procedures and to represent them in tax litigations involving e.g. complex transfer pricing issues and anti-avoidance claims – such work occasionally taking most of his time. Mika’s previous experience includes working for a major auditing company as well as the Finnish Tax Administration.
