Partner, Corporate Tax

I am a Tax Partner in the Kent offices and Head of Corporate Tax.

I advise business owners, entrepreneurs, and global groups on how to structure and manage their tax affairs.  My approach is to provide practical, commercial and pragmatic solutions to enable my clients to meet their objectives.

My work includes advising on restructuring, acquisitions and disposals, international expansion, tax risk, compliance matters and the resolution of HMRC enquiries and disputes.
