Winning the Legal Business Awards 2007 'Private Client Team of the Year' recognised the ability of the leading individuals in this group and their ground breaking achievement for one of our charity clients, Arts Council England.
Our lawyers, and other specialist tax advisers who have previously worked with the Inland Revenue, have a practical and detailed knowledge of the UK tax authorities. Their skill is also applied to advise on tax investigations and negotiations.
