Chambers of John Gardiner KC

Specialist tax set 11 New Square maintains a membership of barristers praised by clients for their ‘technical expertise across a broad spectrum of issues.’ Members advise on a diverse range of high value transactions, and represent both the taxpayer and HMRC in disputes in the tribunals system, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court. ’Best in the business’ Jonathan Peacock KC appeared before the Supreme Court during 2023 in SSE Generation Limited v HMRC, one of a number of important capital allowances cases Peacock has appeared in recently. Hui Ling McCarthy KC acted as leading counsel for the revenue in HMRC v Tooth, a test case on the twenty year time limit and the concept of ‘staleness’. Francis Fitzpatrick KC covers both contentious and advisory matters, with a practice which encompasses intangible assets, energy infrastructure, controlled foreign companies and cryptocurrency. John Brinsmead-Stockham KC, who took silk in 2023, is well regraded for his ’extreme clarity of expression.’
