I am an independent specialist adviser on the taxation of innovation, advising companies and other advisers on areas such as R&D tax relief, Patent Box and Creative Industry reliefs, as well as IP tax issues more generally.

Formerly a Tax Partner with KPMG LLP (UK), I left in 2011 to establish Aiglon Consulting.
