• Ongoing litigation relating to capital allowances claims arising from various biofuel schemes
• We have advised and represented clients in the bankruptcy court, First and Upper Tier Tax Tribunals, High Court and Court of Appeal

Dispute Avoidance

We frequently advise on dispute avoidance as well as representing a wide range of businesses in the pursuit or defence of tax claims.  We want to help you avoid problems and resolve issues (or, at the very least, improve your position) before a formal dispute even arises, so it is best to get us involved as early as possible.  By doing so, you will enable us to add maximum value and will often improve the outcome.

Mediation and other ADR

Outside the court arena, we are also expert in alternative dispute resolution and have experience and adopt best practice in HMRC’s Litigation and Settlement Strategy.
