Barrister at Field Court Tax Chambers, Patrick has strong advocacy and advisory practices. He has advised taxpayers, including individuals and companies, at all levels of the UK courts.  He has also appeared successfully in the Privy Council on behalf of an overseas tax authority. His advisory practice covers all areas of tax and he has advised on some of the largest corporate transactions in the UK. He is well known in the world of the taxation of international sports stars, high profile football teams, sports bodies, rock stars and other entertainers.

Before being called to the Bar he was a solicitor during which time he was an equity partner in two leading London law firms, first becoming a partner at the age of 31. He aims to bring to clients an approach which is both practical and pragmatic. Practical, since, having been a commercial solicitor he is well aware of the realities of business transactions and the need for sensible advice; and pragmatic since his court experiences have shown him the way in which courts are likely to react and he factors this experience into his advice.
