Tax considerations can materially affect the cost, timing and viability of both commercial and private transactions. Our taxation practice provides legal support to businesses, investors and individuals on tax-related risk, transaction structures, compliance questions, assessments and disputes.
Our advisory work may arise in connection with corporate reorganisations, property transactions, commercial agreements, investment structures, financing and employment arrangements. We review the legal implications of proposed structures and, where appropriate, coordinate with accountants, auditors and other professional advisers.
Where a client is dealing with an audit, assessment or contested position, we can assist with review of supporting material, legal arguments, correspondence, objections, negotiations and dispute escalation where necessary. The focus is on combining technical accuracy with a realistic assessment of procedural choices and commercial consequences.
For private clients, tax issues may arise alongside property ownership, investments, business interests or settlement transactions. We therefore consider the tax issue in the context of the wider legal transaction rather than in isolation.
Tax law is fact-sensitive and can change. Specific advice should therefore be obtained before implementing a transaction or relying on a particular tax treatment.
