How do you help clients?
I help investors and business owners throughout all the stages of the life cycle of their business by advising them on how to:
- ensure that they are protected from any tax risks when they buy or sell a business or a company in the relevant sale and purchase agreements;
- make investments in a tax efficient manner by accessing tax reliefs where these are available and ensuring that the relevant conditions are satisfied;
- adopt and implement share incentives to retain and attract talent;
- manage the taxes payable on the acquisition and disposal of interests in land;
- reorganise their businesses tax efficiently so as to unlock value; and
- dispose of their businesses tax efficiently.
