Tax

The tax practice in Herbert Smith Freehills is led by partners Toby Eggleston, Nick Heggart, and Ryan Leslie. They are the leading tax experts in Australia with extensive experience in M&A, venture capital, energy, and other sectors. The team has full-service capability across all tax advisory, investigatory, and dispute work. It is notable for providing advisory services for tax controversy and large transactions.  

One case study showed the team led by Jinny Chaimungkalanont and Toby Eggleston advised Origin Energy on tax and stamp duty aspects of the acquisition proposal. The proposal values Origin at $18.4 billion on an enterprise value basis. The team also assisted other clients including Black Gold Corporation, Iluka, and South 32.
