The practice

Our Corporate Tax team is a strong, three partner team which operates as one team with lawyers currently based in London and Bristol.

The team enjoys a varied and quality work load for mainly UK mid-market and international clients. We provide our clients with tailored UK and cross-border tax advice that helps them meet their business objectives and our work ranges from stand-alone tax advisory mandates to transaction linked advice. We undertake complex tax structuring mandates particularly for funds, real estate, private equity and corporate clients. Our reputation is for giving technically excellent advice that is commercial and user-friendly regardless of whether we are providing strategic support or working under pressure on a transaction.



The team is pro-active and forward looking, an approach which generates significant advisory work for the team and allows team members to develop specialisms in areas of interest. We seek to build strong and long lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress; high quality clients and work, with early responsibility and client exposure; thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of experienced colleagues; robust technical training with early skills based development, increasingly tailored to you; and reward for your contribution, progression and potential, rather than PQE or tenure.
