Terra Firma Chambers

Terra Firma Chambers is highly regarded for its expertise in private client law. Philip Simpson KC, a dual tenant with English set Old Square Tax Chambers, is lauded for his strength in tax litigation; he recently appeared for the respondent in Asset House Piccadilly Limited v HMRC, which involved a challenge to the validity of an information notice issued by HMRC under Schedule 36 FA 2008. In another matter, the ‘approachable’ Roddy MacLeod successfully acted for the pursuer in a case involving a claim for the reduction of a will on the primary basis that the testator lacked capacity, as well as on the alternative basis that the testator’s will had been made under undue influence. Derek Francis is well versed in advising on indirect tax issues.
