DWF

Led by seasoned practitioner Jon Stevens, DWF’s corporate tax practice regularly advises on M&A, share schemes and private equity deals, handling matters generated by its offices in Birmingham and London. The firm also takes on tax litigation cases, such as London Luton Hotel BPRA’s Court of Appeal case against HMRC. This strength in contentious matters is bolstered by legal director Tajinder Barring, who has experience representing both corporates and high-net-worth individuals in direct and indirect HMRC investigations and disputes. Another key name to note is associate Alex Tolcher, who focuses on the tax aspects of high-value property and corporate matters. In notable developments, Tolcher recently qualified as a Chartered Tax Advisor and Amy Deal, a senior paralegal from HMRC, joined the firm.
