Welcome
to Gray's Inn Tax Chambers
About Us
In the early 1980s some thought was given to what our slogan
might be if we were ever to advertise. The one we liked best was: “You’ll be glad you had that tax problem”. Let
us explain why.
The period since our Chambers were established in 1965 has seen
the expansion of the tax base, the introduction, with some frequency,
of new forms of direct and indirect taxation, and the growing
impact of Europe.
New taxes and European law brought, and continue to bring, complication
to the world of tax; and they create or increase the need for
highly competent legal advice relating to fiscal problems.
The aim of all of us here is to meet that need.
We do that by keeping pace with the increasing technicality of
the tax system, by maintaining a deep and expert knowledge of
its detail, by providing helpful, innovative, elegant and simple
solutions to the tax problems which ordinary life brings to individuals
and which business brings to all involved in it; and, above all,
we do it by giving advice without sitting on fences.
Our ambition is to prevent tax problems from arising and to solve
those which have arisen without litigation. But, if need be, we
will fight for our clients in the Courts; and we have had experience
of doing that successfully, not only in the United Kingdom, but
also in Europe and in many Commonwealth or former Commonwealth
jurisdictions.
We think of ourselves as a family; and we enjoy working together
and the work that we do. We hope to convey our sense of enjoyment
and our pleasure in helping others to all our clients: individuals,
trusts, partnerships, business organisations and corporations,
large or small.
