How we work
Analysis
We assess the prospects: legal positions, court practice and the strength of the evidence base.
Preparation
We draft the claim and the evidence. Where needed — we engage a forensic accountant or appraiser.
Process
We represent the client at hearings. We respond to the tax authority's arguments. We file motions to obtain evidence.
Enforcement
Once the decision is handed down — we monitor enforcement. Where needed — we appeal or pursue cassation.
Result for the client
A court decision in the taxpayer's favour. Recovery of funds or reversal of unlawful tax acts. Where needed — taking the case to cassation.
