Comprehensive service
Our tax dispute resolution and controversy practice covers the negotiation and settlement of disputes with revenue authorities, case preparation and management, as well as advocacy in the tax tribunals and higher courts.
Risk identification and management
We assist our clients in trying to avoid costly and lengthy tax disputes by reviewing tax planning, documentation and transactions and working to mitigate any potential areas of contention. Involving us at the early stages of a transaction means that, as far as possible, any challenge by a tax authority may be minimised.
Tax dispute resolution team
Lawyers who work in this practice are principally based in the tax department of the firm, where they combine a contentious role with active tax advisory practices. Where required, we work closely with other non-tax contentious lawyers to provide a seamless service to our clients. Our team regularly advises on all kinds of contentious discussions with tax authorities. We support our clients at every stage of discussions with tax authorities including supporting any negotiations or settlements at national or international level. Combining technical expertise and a deep familiarity with tax litigation process, this provides a far broader perspective of the issues surrounding tax disputes than that of pure litigators.
Experts in conducting high-profile tax litigation
We provide advice on a wide range of tax disputes relating to various direct and indirect tax matters, appearing on behalf of tax payers at all levels of the court process. We guide clients through the complexity of the process and the issues and advise on the best path to work towards a successful outcome. Our tax litigation practice covers enquiry work and resolving technical disputes with national revenue authorities and supranational bodies such as the EU Commission, as well as case handling and advocacy work in the Courts and Tribunals (including the European Union Court of Justice).
