(Leading partners)Praised by clients for its ‘can-do attitude’ and ‘deep knowledge’, Stevens & Bolton LLP’s corporate tax team works closely with the firm’s wider corporate department, and specialises in tax advice in relation to complex and high-value transactions, including corporate tax issues, share schemes, and incentives. Kate Schmit heads up the team and is well versed in acting for a range of corporate clients, with her practice extending to equity incentive design and implementation mandates. The firm’s reach was bolstered with the arrival of Sarah Cardew, former head of the corporate tax team at Irwin Mitchell, in October 2022. Sarah Balchin’s broad practice includes growth capital and real estate matters, while Melanie Shone offers specialist expertise in off-payroll working rules.
