Paul Townson

I'm a Tax Partner with over 30 years' experience advising owner-managed businesses and their owners. My work covers buying and selling businesses, inheritance tax planning, tax-efficient extraction, tax-free disposals to employee ownership trusts and advising on property transactions.

Throughout my career, I've worked closely with colleagues in M&A and Business Services and Outsourcing, advising on the tax structuring of acquisitions, disposals and tax due diligence. I manage a portfolio of growing and innovative groups across Healthcare, Manufacturing and fast-growth Technology companies.

I pride myself on providing imaginative, risk-appraised and cost-effective solutions. I advise on a wide range of issues including inheritance tax mitigation, trust planning, family wealth protection and all aspects of tax planning for owner-managed businesses.

I'm an active member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation.
