Partner, Professional Practices and Private Clients
London

I am a Partner with more than 14 years of experience, specialising in Professional Practices and individual Partners' taxation. I advise on salaried members' legislation, tax reserves and international expansion and growth. I also advise individuals who are members of multi-jurisdictional firms, in particular, US law firms. 

Seeing firms grow through consolidation, international expansion and the strategic development of specialist UK teams is particularly rewarding. It demonstrates the resilience of the sector and its ability to adapt to regulatory change, succession issues and evolving client expectations.
