Pascal Brennan, Deloitte Ireland, is a partner and serves as national indirect tax leader. He has more than 30 years' experience, and having worked with both the Revenue Commissioners and in private practice, is uniquely placed to bring insight from both sides to any dispute. This knowledge can help to facilitate settlement of complex tax disputes without litigation.

Pascal also has market-leading experience in tax litigation and has brought tax disputes for clients to all levels of the Irish tax appeals system. This experience can aid in negotiations with regulators which may result in favourable out-of-court settlements in otherwise intractable situations at stages of the tax appeals process.

Pascal advises organisations doing business in all industries in Ireland, including many of the world's leading brand names.
