Dominic, who has led the tax practice in EMEA for the past seven years, said:

“Our firm has a strong tax practice around the world, and I look forward to collaborating with this talented group. I will use this role to help our team to identify contentious and non-contentious tax opportunities with our clients. In a time when the international tax world is changing rapidly, we provide a global offering to our clients which can help them navigate these challenges”

Dominic is recommended by Chambers Global, Chambers UK, Chambers Europe, The Legal 500 United Kingdom and Who’s Who Legal Corporate Tax.
