Huw Witty resigns from Fladgate to become Head of Tax at Gordon Dadds

Huw Witty has moved to Gordon Dadds as partner and head of tax. He joins from Fladgate LLP where he was partner and head of tax for six years. Prior to this he was Head of Tax at Richards Butler (which became Reed Smith).

Huw is widely known as a leading adviser on all tax aspects of corporate finance, venture capital, property finance, property and capital market transactions and funds, and international private wealth, the latter with a particular focus in Spain.

With more than 20 years of experience as a tax partner, he was described in Chambers Global 2014 as a “skilled and experienced tax lawyer” and is ranked as a leading individual.

Huw will work closely with tax director Roger Harding.

Adrian Biles, managing partner, comments:

“Huw’s appointment represents a significant strengthening of our UK and international tax advisory offering. This is a major step forward for the team and comes at a time of considerable growth and ambition for the firm as a whole. We look forward to working with Huw and to developing our presence in this area.”

Huw comments:

“I am delighted to be joining Gordon Dadds. The firm’s diverse services and recent acquisitions are a testament to its forward thinking approach and ambition. They will also enable me to offer my existing clients access to the firm’s strong corporate and real estate practices. We will be working to develop the tax offering in line with the complex needs of a rapidly expanding client base, while ensuring a continued commitment to high quality service.”
