Ambitious for tax

Pinsent Masons stakes claim to tax title

Pinsent Masons has staked a claim to possessing the UK’s largest tax law department, following its merger with McGrigors last week. The combined firm of 1,500 lawyers, operating under the name of Pinsent Masons, has a team of 60 tax specialists and professional advisers, including chartered tax advisers and former senior tax inspectors.

Head of tax, Jason Collins said: “Tax is where law and accounting come together and we fundamentally believe that clients' needs are best served by having access to both disciplines under one roof.”
