Position

Morag is a Barrister and Partner in the Tax team, specialising in litigation and the settlement of disputes.

She is experienced in helping clients find bespoke legal solutions to the most complex tax problems, and acts for clients from all over the world – including household names in sport, film and TV; international families; and other prominent individuals.

Prior to entering private practice, Morag spent time at the independent Bar, the Big Four and in-house at an investment management firm. Her deep understanding of tax and litigation procedure, coupled with her extensive experience in advising on the lawfulness of HMRC’s decisions ensures that she is able to develop strategic solutions that both assist and protect clients.

Morag offers a wide range of private client litigation and contentious tax services ranging from tribunal litigation and complex tax investigations, to cases of suspected fraud, settlement of marketed tax avoidance schemes, conduct/fairness proceedings against HMRC, and claims where incorrect tax advice has been given.

She is known for her inter-disciplinary approach to tax, which often includes working with other experts and specialists, leveraging insights from different areas of law – securing good outcomes for clients both in and out of the courtroom.

In addition to contentious work, Morag is also able to advise clients on their business interests and any possible tax risks when structuring their affairs around the world and regularly advises on the tax consequences of living or working abroad, the purchase and movement of luxury assets, and the tax implications of divorce for international couples.
