Do solicitors and conveyancers now need to register as tax advisers?

Understanding whether these changes apply to your firm is essential to avoid compliance issues and disruption when dealing with HMRC.

Our latest blog breaks down:
• What the new rules mean
• Who may be affected
• Key registration requirements and deadlines
• How we can support your firm through the changes

To mark Earth Day, we've launched a new soft plastics recycling initiative across all our offices.

Soft plastics are one of the hardest materials to recycle, and far too much of it still ends up in landfill. From Earth Day onwards, we’ll be collecting clean soft plastics in our kitchens and taking them to local supermarket collection points for recycling.

Partner Jen Nixon, who championed this initiative said "this is a small but meaningful step towards reducing our environmental impact. We've made it easier for everyone to recycle items like food wrappers, crisp packets, and other packaging, things we nearly all use every day in the office."
