Litigation team doubles in size to come with demand

The demand on Prime's dedicated litigation team has continued to grow so much over the last year that the team has now doubled in size to accommodate requests for assistance with complex matrimonial breakdowns, messy tax investigations and company disputes from solicitors across the whole of the UK.

Alf Pare, who heads up the team, said: "When things don't quite add up, it's the team's job to evaluate the circumstances and unravel what's really wrong quickly."

"This can be anything from straightforward company valuation to comparing and contrasting two sets of accounts where there is a business involved in a divorce case and both sides cannot agree on the financials, to unravelling messy tax affairs of business owners, currently under investigation by HMRC or where cases of fraud have been identified - we just never know until a case lands on our desks what to expect" continues Alf.

To allow the firm to cope with the increase in work, Ruth Chapman, who joined Prime in September 2009 moves across to work alongside Alf, whilst still retaining a small portfolio of clients of her own, as a general accounting practitioner. Ruth has a great deal of experience of defending clients placed under scrunity by HMRC looking at their tax affairs, as well as identifying cases of tax fraud, having previously worked for PWC within their national Tax Investigations team.

Both Alf and Ruth are supported by Jane Canavan and Scott Jones, contributing to the administrative and research tasks involved with the job.
