Q&A
What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?
Using an international tax treaty to help save a business with several thousand employees that was in jeopardy due to onerous tax law changes.
What sets you apart from your peers?
I am often able to solve problems that my peers cannot because my advice is informed by a deeper understanding of international tax law and is also more creative and flexible.
What is your favourite quote?
"My only regret in life is that I have not drunk more champagne.” - John Maynard Keynes
