As head of our tax team, Grant advises and represents clients on all aspects of tax and GST.
Grant has worked extensively for large law firms, in chambers as a tax barrister, and as a Crown Counsel in the Crown Law office, which deals with all Inland Revenue’s litigation on technical disputes. He has been counsel in over 100 tax cases at the High Court level and above (including 4 at the Privy Council) – thought to be more than any other lawyer in New Zealand.
Grant’s practice has included representation and decision-making in matters of national significance. Major roles have included: counsel assisting the Royal Commission on Genetic Modification; presenting submissions to consultative committees for Inland Revenue; and representing the Inland Revenue Department throughout the Winebox Commission of Inquiry.
Grant recently advised the University of Canterbury on the tax aspects of its successful $50m listed philanthropic bond issue – the first of its kind in New Zealand. He is a member of the New Zealand Branch of the International Fiscal Association and has recently been appointed a member of the New Zealand Law Society taxation committee.
