About

We provide specialist taxation advice to domestic and international organisations, using the strength of our global office network to ensure our guidance and support reflects local legislation and practice.

Our tax specialists work closely with our clients’ own corporate, commercial and finance teams to minimise tax costs and maximise tax reliefs. This includes the tax aspects of mergers and acquisitions, restructures, listings and joint ventures.

As the market’s leading legal practitioner in the insurance sector, we serve the company and Lloyd’s markets and address the needs of underwriters, agents and brokers. We are well versed in the working of insurance premium tax regimes and act for insurers and insureds in professional indemnity cases.

Other areas of focus include real estate, where we provide specialist tax advice on all transactions, the tax aspects of employee benefits and incentives, customs duties and trade taxation, and tax disputes and investigations.

We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with in-house tax teams, providing fresh insight and alternative opinions to help reach the optimum solution in each matter. We are also happy to provide training on new developments in tax operation and practice.
