For many years we have been able to provide specialist tax advice, not only to private individuals and businesses, but also to the legal profession.
David Bird, Head of our Tax and Estate Planning Department, and his colleague Barry Russell, are both Chartered Tax Advisers. David is also a solicitor.
We provide specialist tax support to our own family department and to similar departments across the profession. We are able to do this in a number of ways.
Expert witness
We are experienced in providing CPR compliant experts’ reports to the court, both on a single joint expert basis and on the basis of sole instruction. As our duty as expert is to the court, the involvement of our Family Department in the case is no bar to instruction.
Collaborative Law and Mediation
Alternative methods of dispute resolution continue to gain popularity. In addition to our expert witness services, we are now able to provide written reports and/or oral advice and guidance within the processes of Collaborative Law and Mediation. We are fully available to provide additional support and advice until conclusion of the process.
Litigation support
It is our experience that cases often involve personal assets which attract tax on disposal or complex company structures. In such cases, it is vital to obtain at an early stage, full and accurate information as to the likely tax consequences of disposal.
We can help you formulate strategy.
In addition we can provide specific support such as:
Costs
We charge on the basis of hourly rates. We provide estimates at the outset and would not exceed these without your prior authority. Our policy is to provide excellent service and value.
