About
Provided by Philip Baker KC
Practice Areas
All forms of revenue law, with particular specialisations in: international taxation (both corporate and private client, and government advisory work) with a particular interest in double taxation conventions; in EU law; and in taxation and human rights (especially the ECHR). Philip has recently decided to no longer take on a leading role in tax litigation (partly due to the slow place at which tax cases pass through the UK courts) but is happy to join a litigation team as support member, and to act as an expert. He maintains a very active advisory practice in all areas of taxation (from which he has no current plans to retire).
