"Clients appreciate my collaborative approach and ability to maintain good relations between clients, tax authorities and regulatory bodies."

“I hold a strong interest not only in advising on disputes but also in risk management and pre-emptive compliance, helping to limit the extent of any such dispute and reduce litigation risks. This includes the implementation of compliance programmes and dispute resolution strategies and providing training for clients.

I take the time to listen carefully to understand my clients' needs in what can be times of stress for them, collaborate effectively to find solutions, and proactively manage risks to minimise disputes and ensure successful outcomes. Clients appreciate my collaborative approach and ability to maintain good relations between clients, tax authorities and regulatory bodies. 

Prior to joining RPC, I was a solicitor within the Tax Disputes Team of a Big Four accountancy firm, where I gained particular experience in acting for clients in the financial services sector under investigation by HMRC."
