William’s practice covers all UK taxes relevant to corporate, financing and real estate transactions; besides corporation tax, this includes VAT, the various stamp duties and other direct taxes.
Cross-border mergers and group reconstructions have been major elements of William's corporate work, while on the financing side he has particular experience of securitisations and structured finance transactions.
William has developed a special interest in tax issues relevant to real estate over the past few years and was a member of the group formed by HMRC and the British Property Federation to advise on the introduction and subsequent refinement of the REIT regime.
William is listed as a leading individual in the 'Tax' section of both Chambers UK, 2012 and Chambers Global, 2011. He is also the Contributing Editor to the Global Legal Group's annual 'International Comparitive Legal Guide to Corporate Tax' publication.
