Leading names in UK tax bar form new chambers

Philip Baker, Patrick Way, Patrick Soares and Imran Afzal launched Field Court Tax Chambers in August after their previous set, Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers, decided to leave the Inns of Court.

Between them, the four cover a wide range of topics in their practices, for companies, private clients and the tax authorities, including property taxation, VAT, trusts and offshore tax, international tax, tax and human rights, inheritance tax, capital gains, stamp duty and stamp duty land tax. They are all well known speakers, lecturers and writers on tax issues.
