Maurice Martin joins Withers to lead tax investigation practice

Maurice Martin joined Withers from Irwin Mitchell on 1 December to launch a tax investigations practice.

Maurice’s work focuses on business and personal tax investigations on behalf of high profile individuals as well as corporations. He often works in conjunction with leading accountancy firms to minimise the client’s risk of prosecution and the amount of tax properly payable.

Known for his contacts and experience, he has been involved in many of the major cases of the past 30 years. These began with the famous nationwide Richmond Rendezvous group of Chinese restaurants in 1981, at the time the largest tax prosecution ever and the first combined operation by Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise (before they merged in 2005).
