Anti-facilitation of tax evasion statement

Our aim is to provide responsible legal and other professional services to enable our clients to manage and address business risks. ‘Responsible behaviour’ is our core principle and it extends to everything we do, and to those with whom we interact.

Tax evasion deprives governments of the revenues they need to provide vital public services. We expect the businesses and people we engage with to comply with their tax obligations. We will not tolerate any of our partners, employees, agents or business partners knowingly assisting or encouraging tax fraud by any of the clients, suppliers or others that we do business with anywhere in the world. 

Our commitment to ensuring that all appropriate taxes are paid by us and those who we do business with, includes:

  • Upholding the rule of law and the proper administration of justice;
  • Carrying out business fairly, honestly and openly;
  • Refusing to provide our services where we know or suspect them to be being misused or abused by a client for the purposes of tax evasion; nor will we aide, facilitate or support actions which assist in evasion of tax liabilities; and
  • Not buying services or goods from any supplier or consultant where we know or suspect them not to be properly declaring their income and any relevant tax and duties in connection with those activities.

We will not engage in transactions which we know or suspect facilitates tax evasion, even if it may result in us losing business. If you require more information or have any concerns relating this Statement, please do not hesitate to contact us.
