Tax

Jessica developed an interest in VAT whilst working as a stagiaire for Advocate General Sharpston at the CJEU, and assisted on a number of cases for members of the indirect tax team during her pupillage.

Since joining the Attorney-General’s C-Panel, she has acted on cases involving both direct and indirect tax. She was instructed as second junior to represent Baker McKenzie in a dispute concerning tax arrangement for pushed down debt following a leveraged acquisition, where Baker McKenzie ultimately succeeded by demonstrating that the Claimant had failed to challenge the Mexican tax authorities on the recoverability of the tax claimed (Symrise AG v Baker & McKenzie [2015] EWHC 912 (Comm)).
