Deal sizes can be anywhere from £10m to +£10bn - we work with a variety of clients and on a variety of deals.

We help our clients understand historical tax issues and structure transactions, with a continuous focus on maximising value throughout the investment cycle. Working collaboratively across the KPMG network, our work often involves advice on multiple countries, taxes, and work streams.
