Belluzzo International Partners speak about appointing Gary Ashford as Head of Tax

Belluzzo International Partners announces the appointment of Gary Ashford as Head of Tax, as part of the Firm’s international growth and expansion strategy centred on its London office. 

Gary Ashford’s appointment represents a key milestone in the Firm’s growth trajectory, further consolidating its positioning among the leading advisory practices serving private and corporate clients, with an increasingly strong focus on global capital flows and non-European markets. 

Having developed significant experience within leading international professional environments, Gary Ashford brings extensive expertise in cross-border taxation, international tax planning and the structuring of complex transactions, contributing to the Firm’s ability to provide integrated services and strategic solutions within an increasingly dynamic international landscape.

His appointment also contributes to reinforcing the Firm’s multidisciplinary and multi jurisdictional model, based on the integration of legal, tax and wealth planning expertise, with the objective of delivering tailor-made assistance to international clients, multinational groups, institutional investors and entrepreneurial families. 

“In this period of significant change for London,” comments Alessandro Belluzzo, Founding Global Partner, “we are witnessing a clear shift in our client base: a growing number of clients from the United States and Asia, alongside a reduction in European clients. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in domestic investments and large-scale transactions. In this context, Gary Ashford’s expertise as our Head of Tax is both highly relevant and strategically aligned with the Firm’s current and future needs.” 

“I am delighted to join Belluzzo International Partners,” says Gary Ashford. “I am truly excited about the opportunity to build something special together, further strengthening the Firm’s international presence and delivering value to our clients in a rapidly evolving and competitive market.” 

“With Gary, we continue to strengthen our international tax offering, which is becoming increasingly central to our clients’ growth and internationalisation strategies,” adds Luigi Belluzzo, Founding Global Partner. “His expertise and international approach represent a significant added value in supporting corporate clients and entrepreneurial families in addressing the challenges arising from globalisation, capital mobility and the ongoing evolution of tax systems.”

With this appointment, Belluzzo International Partners reaffirms its commitment to continuing to invest in top-tier talent and to strengthening its presence across key international hubs, with London continuing to play a pivotal role in the development of new global opportunities.
