Sarah joined Burges Salmon in 2018 as part of the firm's commitment to further expansion of its strong tax capability.
Sarah has more than 25 years' experience of tax. She has previously been a partner in a Big Four accounting firm, and undertaken transactional and advisory work at two large law firms. She focuses on business tax issues for large corporates, investors and funds. Her experience includes M&A, treasury tax, JVs, fund structuring, real estate issues and tax disputes and appeals, including cross border and international tax issues. Sarah has advised clients across a range of sectors including financial services, telecoms and media, technology and infrastructure.
Sarah enjoys the challenges that tax work presents and helping find innovative solutions to client issues, addressing legal and practical issues alongside tax technical questions. Tax advice requires a strong technical underpinning, but no client wants to read a long memo discussing tax issues across three jurisdictions or forms of taxation and be left wondering what the solution is to their particular problem.
Sarah has participated in a number of industry working groups and has written articles and presented regularly on tax developments.
