Tax

"The 'team is acknowledged in the marketplace to be "building expertise on larger and larger deals."  A near ubiquitous presence in the property market, the group is strongest in this area, though it has also proved its worth with "absolutely great" work on cross-border leasings, finance, corporate M&A and funds matters.'" Chambers, 2008
