Tax Investigations

Our global tax investigations practice advises high profile individuals and international families and trustees in relation to both civil and criminal tax fraud investigations and litigation conducted by the tax authorities. We also assist clients who have promoted high risk investments which are under investigation by tax authorities. With our representatives across the America, Asia and Europe, we are well-placed to respond quickly and efficiently to any international investigation.

If you have received notification of a tax inquiry, we can provide you with solutions, including advice on investigations, negotiations and the most appropriate course of action. We also work closely with our international commercial litigation team if there is the possibility of claiming damages against other parties, and can call on our media and reputation team to resolve any privacy concerns.

We often work with leading accountancy firms to minimise the client's risk of prosecution and to ensure that only the correct amount of tax is payable. We help individuals around the world who wish to come forward and make a voluntary disclosure of unpaid taxes whilst ensuring that the process is handled safely, confidentially and with full protection from a criminal investigation wherever possible. Once an enquiry is completed, we can offer bespoke tax planning advice to structure your tax affairs in the most efficient manner.
