“I have a lot of experience dealing with HMRC and work hard to obtain the best outcome for my clients."
“I specialise in tax disputes and investigations and advise clients on a broad range of contentious tax issues involving both direct and indirect taxes.
I have extensive experience assisting clients with: managing HMRC enquiries and information notices; appealing HMRC decisions to the Tax Tribunals and Higher Courts all the way up to the Supreme Court; challenging winding-up petitions issued by HMRC's Debt Management team; and issuing Data Subject Access Requests to HMRC and ensuring they are complied with. I have a lot of experience dealing with HMRC and work hard to obtain the best outcome for my clients.
There’s also a strong global dimension to my work, and I’ve been involved in several international tax disputes in Europe, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
I’m always concise and responsive in my dealings with clients, and pride myself on the calmness and dedication with which I approach my work on their behalf.”
