Exams aren't taxing for top Liverpool lawyer
28/01/2011

William Ngan, a Corporate Associate at leading North West law firm Brabners Chaffe Street has been heralded as one of the region`s rising stars of taxation after achieving a sought after tax qualification.

William has successfully passed the CTA exams to become a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) and can now be described as a Chartered Tax Adviser which is nationally recognised as the gold standard of taxation qualification. By taking up his membership William becomes one of 15,000 members including most of the UK's leading taxation experts. This puts him on a par, in qualification terms, with all of the major tax accountancy professionals in the market. William's achievement is strengthened by the fact that the majority of those examined are accountants rather than lawyers.

William will provide expert legal advice relevant to tax planning schemes for clients worked up between himself and tax accountancy professionals.

Based in Liverpool, William provides specialist support to Brabners Chaffe Street's clients and client teams across the firm's Liverpool, Manchester and Preston offices.

Mark Brandwood, Managing Partner of Brabners Chaffe Street comments: “I would like to congratulate William on his success. It is fantastic for the firm to have a lawyer with this qualification. William's success in these exams is particularly impressive considering that he is not only a taxation specialist, but also a corporate lawyer. William is the first lawyer in Brabners Chaffe Street to pass these exams and his specialist advice will prove very useful to clients of the firm.”

William is part of a corporate team comprising in excess of 40 lawyers across Brabners Chaffe Street's Liverpool, Manchester and Preston offices. The firm is now ranked as one of the top five most active corporate practices in the North West and the largest locally-based corporate legal team.
