Denis Edwards was called to the Bar (Middle Temple) in 2002 and admitted to the Scottish Bar as an Advocate in 2012.  Following a judicial assistantship in the Court of Appeal, he developed a strong practice in public law and EU law before focusing on tax cases, with a specialism in VAT and the law on customs & excise duties.

Denis advises and represents both taxpayers and public authorities in a wide range of tax cases.  He has substantial experience of tax litigation, including judicial reviews and appeals in both the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.  He previously represented HMRC in both direct and indirect tax cases, having been one of the Attorney General’s Panel of Counsel for 5 years.

Denis taught law for 10 years before coming to the Bar.  He continues to offer training events in tax and related legal subjects and is also a teacher in several professional legal education programmes both in the UK and internationally.
