Position
Senior Director
Career
Graham Poole has a passion for economics and transfer pricing, and is one of only a handful of people who can offer clients a combination of industry, consulting, litigation, and tax authority experience. He uses this to create solutions that are insightful and robust, but also pragmatic. He is senior director of economics and transfer pricing at Hogan Lovells.
Prior to joining Hogan Lovells, Graham was senior transfer pricing economist at Her Majesty Revenue and Customs (HMRC). There, he advised on lead cases, Base Erosion and Profit Shifting policy, and general approaches to transfer pricing, avoidance schemes, and the diverted profits tax. Graham was an integral member of case teams working on contentious disputes and bi-lateral advance pricing agreement negotiations, and helped conclude large settlements and agreements in a number of areas. He was also part of HMRC’s Diverted Profits Tax team, Working Party on Taxation of the Digital Economy, and Penalty Consistency Panel. In addition, he was a member of a Joint International Tax Shelter Information Collaboration working group. Graham was previously global head of transfer pricing at Cadbury Schweppes and has also worked for the Big Four, economic consulting and litigation in the United States.
Graham has been named in The Legal 500 for Tax Litigation and Investigations, and Euromoney / Legal Media Group’s Experts Guide as a Leading Transfer Pricing Advisor. In addition to advising clients, he has been engaged to provide expert opinions in several contentious matters. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and member of its International Taxes Committee, and was part of the group that created what is now its Transfer Pricing Options Paper. Graham advises a number of FTSE 100 groups, and other large multinationals.
Before starting work as a professional economist 25 years ago, Graham studied for a Ph.D. at The University of Cambridge and Copenhagen Business School.
