Sarah Woodall, Head of Tax, Partner (Barrister)

We work effectively with clients facing tax challenges, whether these are in their business life, personal affairs or across the two.

For your business

Key areas include corporation tax, VAT and employment duties.

For you

We work with individuals and business owner-managers on their personal tax situations and mediate effectively when needed.

The need to keep your tax affairs up to date is vital with the frequent changes to tax rules. Our team of national advisors will strive to ensure that your affairs are organised to secure the maximum benefit, and we will advise you of all your obligations under the self assessment system, including deadlines, to ensure your tax bills are reduced where possible.

We can also provide you with the very best tax advice on the most tax-efficient methods of passing assets from one generation to the next and a wide range of strategies and procedures to minimise charges to Inheritance Tax.

Whether dealing with wills, trusts or lifetime gifts, we can advise on all of the relevant tax compliance consequences and help to minimise the impact that tax can have on you and your family.

We know how overwhelming tax problems can seem; we provide the expert help you need.

Demand for our service means that we will advertise to recruit two pupils into our tax team in Autumn 2021, with a view to offering up to two permanent contracts. All applications must be submitted via the Bar Council pupillage gateway in the ordinary way.
