Pinsent Masons poaches Fiona Fernie from BDO to lead the Firm’s Tax Investigations practice

Pinsent Masons has hired Fiona Fernie as Head of Tax Investigations.

Fiona has extensive investigations experience. She worked for 16 years with PwC (formerly Coopers & Lybrand) before joining BDO in 2000 in London, where she has worked for the past 14 years. She was a tax partner at BDO and the Firm’s lead PR spokesperson for all Tax Investigations issues.

In terms of her technical work, her focus is on COP8 and COP9 (Contractual Disclosure Facility) cases and large complex investigations. She also assists clients who want to make a voluntary disclosure of tax irregularities to HMRC, whether via one of the available disclosure facilities such as the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility or the Crown Dependency Disclosure Facilities or via an independent approach outside a formal facility.

Over the last 15 years she has prepared and delivered presentations/seminars for STEP, ICAEW, CIOT and ACCA both in the UK and in several offshore jurisdictions. Fiona is an FCA, not a solicitor.
