Fieldfisher LLP has 26 offices across 11 countries and is a leading European law firm.

Our UK Contentious Tax team has many years’ experience of all types of tax disputes across the whole of the tax system.

Containing both solicitors and barristers, the team is able to advise on all contentious matters that pertain to tax. The team's work mix includes disclosures to HMRC, civil enquiries, criminal enquiries, litigation before the tax tribunals, professional negligence actions and restitution, rectification and rescission claims before the High Court and non-UK courts.

We are a friendly and open team that operates at a high level, whilst retaining a healthy respect for work-life balance.
