I advise on all mainstream areas of UK tax law. Many of my clients have been with me for many years, trusting in my technical knowledge, but also my commercial nous and deliberately non-confrontational negotiating style in disputes with tax authorities.

He has published articles in the British Tax Review and PLC. Oliver joined Penningtons Manches Cooper in 2023 from another leading UK law firm.
