I advise both companies and private individuals across all industry sectors on a range of direct and indirect taxation disputes. In particular, I advise on professional negligence claims against former advisers due to failed tax planning and/or structuring and commercial litigation where the subject matter is tax related. Many of these claims involve overseas tax elements and structures across multiple jurisdictions.
In addition, I advise on employment taxation issues (including IR35) and on disclosures of tax irregularities to HMRC.
My recent and current cases include:
- A professional negligence claim on behalf of a high net worth individual and their company against their former solicitors in relation to negligent tax structuring of royalty income.
- A professional negligence claim on behalf of a high net worth individual against their former solicitors in relation to negligent advice as the beneficiary of a trust and associated tax consequences.
- Acting for Defendants in commercial litigation related to a failed tax avoidance scheme.
- Acting for a technology company in making a voluntary disclosure to HMRC due to pension irregularities.
- Providing ongoing IR35 compliance advice to a company.
