Practice groupCorporate & Finance
Christopher is a senior associate in the London Tax group. His work involves a broad array of corporate tax matters typical of a City tax lawyer, but the key planks of his practice are advising institutional and funds-based investors in real estate, working on structured finance transactions for large financial institutions, and acting in relation to commercial tax litigation.
Christopher sets great store by the belief that sound technical analysis becomes good tax advice when put in context. To that end he works closely with his transactional colleagues, is sensitive to the institutional needs and wants of different clients, and aims to anticipate tax issues before they become problems.
