Hammonds Tax Partner jumps ship

[private]Fiona Sutherland joins Halliwells from Hammonds where she was a partner and head of the firm’s tax department in Manchester. At Halliwells, she will work closely with the firm’s head of tax Bernard McIlroy, a former colleague with whom she worked at Hammonds for nine years.

Commenting on her arrival, Fiona Sutherland said:

“This role is particularly exciting because of its huge potential.

“There are excellent opportunities to leverage off the firm’s well established corporate and property client base as well as generating business from outside the firm.”

Said Bernard McIlroy:

“We are delighted to have appointed a tax partner of Fiona’s calibre.

“Her arrival is a huge boost to our tax practice and enhances the resources and skill set of the team.

“Offering a well resourced and highly skilled one stop shop for tax and legal advice provides the firm with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”[/private]
