Cowell Clarke’s Tax & Revenue group will expand with the addition of three new solicitors who have progressed through the commercial law firm’s Tax Academy training program.
Karishma D’Souza and Carlie Frantzis have recently joined the team as newly admitted solicitors with Amy Lancaster following later this year.
Cowell Clarke Director and Head of the Tax & Revenue group, Peter Slegers, said the expansion reflected the increasing demand for tax law advice.
“I’ve witnessed significant growth in tax law practices since I started in the profession and there is clearly strong demand in the corporate and commercial marketplace for specialist tax law advice,” he said.
“It is also an area attracting many young, talented individuals who aspire to a challenging but rewarding career as a commercial lawyer.
“I am thrilled that Karishma, Carlie and Amy are joining our team.
“They have clearly demonstrated commitment, energy and application during their time in the Tax Academy over the prior two to three years.”
