Stephen Coleclough

Strong technical knowledge

We communicate complex ideas simply and are adept at tackling multi-faceted problems while avoiding litigation and disputes.

We're solution-focused and believe all problems are solvable

Nobody ever says “Find me a lawyer who…

  • Will build a fence and sit on it”
  • Will give me ten reasons why I cannot do what I want”
  • Says “‘we always do it this way'”
  • Makes sure I pay the most tax possible”

We start from the premise that all problems are solvable.

It may be that the cost / benefit analysis says it is not worth it in which case you are making an informed choice.

It may be you have been looking at the wrong problem or at the wrong end of it.

We look at things differently, which means we could find the answer in unexpected places.

Values

Stephen Coleclough
  • Tax is not the most important thing in the world.
  • We will listen to find the cause of your tax problem, and not just deal with the tax problem.
  • If your tax position is not broken, we will not try to fix it.
  • It is highly unlikely one magic bullet will solve all of your problems.
  • We only advise, we do not decide or act as principals.
  • We want you to sleep at night and all our advice is prepared on this basis.
