‘Sam is an exceptional and persuasive advocate; he is creative, he has good judgement, and he knows how to make a good point come across fluently and persuasively. He is excellent on any aspect that has a public law angle, and his expertise in public law and tax is second-to-none.’
Indirect tax is a particular area of expertise for a number of the members of Blackstone Chambers. Sam Grodzinski KC has a well-established and broad tax practice, and his cases often involve elements of public law. The set is also home to Kieron Beal KC, who is regularly instructed in judicial review proceedings regarding tax-related mandates for taxpayers and HMRC. Of recent note, he represented the taxpayer in GB Fleet Hire v HMRC, which overturned the First-Tier Tribunal’s decision to strike out an appeal regarding the refusal to register the taxpayer for VAT.
