Travis Benjamin joins Deacons as head of tax in Hong Kong and China

Deacons has chosen Travis Benjamin to be its new head of tax in Hong Kong and China.

Benjamin was previously with Baker & McKenzie’s tax practice in Hong Kong for seven and half years, and with KPMG’s tax departments in Hong Kong and Melbourne for four years. He advises clients including corporations, banks, investment funds, private client/ family groups and not-for-profit organisations on topics such as fund formation, public and private company M&A and restructuring, capital markets transactions, financing and services arrangements, intellectual property exploitation and employee remuneration planning in Hong Kong and across Asia.

He also deals with tax controversy matters, including revenue authority audits and Board of Review appeals, and tax disputes.

Benjamin was listed in this year’s edition of International Tax Review’s Tax Controversy Leaders guide.
