Launch of tax litigation practice
Stewarts Law has launched a new tax litigation practice with the hire of David Pickstone who joins as a partner and head of tax litigation.
David, who previously worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal LLP, has vast experience of acting for large corporates, financial institutions and high net worth individuals in tax disputes before the Tax Tribunals, High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme and European Courts. David has worked on many of the most important recent tax cases, including having conduct of the Prudential privilege litigation from the High Court through to the Supreme Court, acting for Littlewoods Retail Ltd in their claim for compound interest on overpayments of VAT and acting as the solicitor with conduct for the Stamp Taxes Group Litigation Order.
Stewarts Law’s managing partner, John Cahill, comments: “We are committed to recruiting the very best lawyers to meet the needs of our clients. The current economic climate has resulted in a large volume of high value tax cases. David, with his particular expertise in direct tax claims, is very well placed to take on such disputes.”
David comments: “Stewarts Law already has an excellent reputation for complex domestic and international disputes. The addition of a new tax litigation department will cement its position in the market place as a leading litigation only law firm. I am delighted to be joining.”
