Practice Areas

Kate leads the Tax Disputes practice at BCLP. She is both highly experienced and respected for advising on complex, sensitive and high value tax disputes for her clients, which include advising at board and corporate senior management level.

Kate’s practice covers the full life cycle of a tax matter, and she advises on both direct and indirect taxes and excise duties. She assists clients with corporate tax risk and compliance issues, internal corporate investigations, managing civil enquiries and criminal investigations by HM Revenue and Customs, responding to information requests, and resolving disputes either through negotiation or litigation.

She has significant experience in conducting tax appeals at all levels of the court including the First-Tier Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal, the High Court and the Court of Appeal. She also advises on non-tax focused enquiries where HMRC is the investigative or supervisory agency, including export control and AML issues.

Kate gives bespoke and tailored advice, ensuring that she make the process from beginning to end as seamless as possible, in what is often ‘high stakes’ for her corporate clients.
