Old Square Tax Chambers

Old Square Tax Chambers is a specialist set of tax barristers established in 1968. Members practise independently, each offering expertise across different areas of tax law, while sharing knowledge and experience within chambers to maintain a strong collective understanding of tax practice. The set adopts a holistic approach to advising clients, recognising that tax issues often require consideration of multiple taxes alongside wider legal, business and personal factors. Members aim to provide clear, practical and commercially focused advice, with an emphasis on resolving matters efficiently and avoiding unnecessary disputes where possible. Where disputes arise, they are experienced in handling litigation and seeking favourable outcomes, including resolution without the need for court proceedings where appropriate. Chambers is supported by an experienced clerking team who assist in identifying suitable counsel and agreeing fees in advance. Members are known for their problem-solving approach, discretion, and ability to communicate complex tax matters in an accessible way. They also contribute extensively to leading tax publications and regularly write for major tax periodicals. The set includes members with a range of language capabilities and qualifications in multiple jurisdictions, supporting an international client base.
