Andy Brown

Andy is a partner in our commercial disputes team based in our London office. He leads our tax disputes and investigations practice.

He acts for corporates and private clients in many jurisdictions around the world supporting them through crisis related issues with tax authorities and regulatory and law enforcement bodies. He advises clients on the full spectrum of non-contentious and contentious tax matters, including investigation projects, alternative dispute resolution, tax litigation and criminal prosecutions.

Andy has a particular expertise in customs and excise matters, offering advice around both contentious and non-contentious issues, with a strong track record in handling tax disputes before HMRC for large domestic and international clients. He regularly advises on pre-emptive compliance as well as HMRC investigations and litigation.

His practice covers all taxes and industries and also involves advising on pre-litigation strategies in the event of an uncertain tax treatment. Many of his clients operate in multiple territories around the globe and he has significant experience of managing tax related disputes across borders.

Andy has been involved in many of the UK’s most high profile pieces of tax litigation but is best known for those matters where litigation is avoided by way of voluntary disclosure or where there is no further action by a tax authority.
