Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

The world of tax is changing with digitalisation and the transformation of businesses making existing tax rules out of date and forcing tax regimes to catch up and rethink how they tax emerging markets and technology. In a world of change and increased uncertainty about tax, with new business models being taxed under outdated rules and new rules being brought in taxpayers can be caught out. My job is to try and help those taxpayers deal with these problems and move on.

I am one of Osborne Clarke's Age Champions, leading on the firm's Diversity and Inclusion agenda to ensure Osborne Clarke is an age- inclusive employer. I see the generational shift in attitudes to work as offering opportunities irrespective of age, from multi career working lives to flexible work and, for those that want it, longer working lives.
