Partner

Sean is a Chartered Tax Advisor and Head of the Tax practice at Edwin Coe.

Sean acts for high-net and ultra-high-net worth individuals and families and those that advise them (financial service providers and corporate service provider/trustees).

Principally acting for clients with assets and business interests globally, Sean is well versed on multi-jurisdictional issues and has a wealth of experience advising those who are seeking to ensure their tax affairs are administered in a framework that is both effective and compliant. A particular strength is advising non-domiciled clients as to how best to navigate the UK tax landscape and maximise their position, as well as assisting non-UK residents who are looking to acquire business or property interests in the UK and structure their arrangements effectively. Sean has also advised a number of non-UK trustees/directors as to their UK tax position and the impact of several significant legislative changes in the most recent years.

Sean has also assisted a significant number of clients (both individuals and companies) who have had Serious Fraud enquiries and/or have sought to make disclosures to HMRC under one of the available disclosure facilities. In addition, Sean is presently undertaking a significant number of client assignments concerned with the changes to the inheritance tax (IHT) regime for UK residential property introduced in April 2017.

By combining his practical experience in relation to disputes work and the knowledge base developed as a result of his advisory work, Sean is able to provide an unparalleled service to his clients. With the ability to communicate complex concepts, Sean ensures his clients are well informed and are able to make the right decisions for their affairs.

Sean is the firm’s head of Corporate Social Responsibility.
