I advise large corporates, smaller owner managed business and high-net worth individuals on contentious tax matters (including tax disputes and investigations with HMRC and also tax related commercial litigation).
I have assisted on a variety of contentious tax related issues. I have experience of assisting on a range of direct and indirect taxation disputes. I work with all industry sectors.
Before joining Fieldfisher, I worked as a criminal defence lawyer where I assisted in VAT Fraud, Missing Trader cases and HMRC Code of Practice 8 cases.
My recent and current cases include:
