Maurice Martin

Practice Areas

Maurice is of counsel in the white collar defence and investigations team, primarily focusing on UK tax investigations.

His work includes business and personal tax investigations on behalf of high profile individuals as well as corporations which face either civil or criminal investigation. He frequently handles complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes, working with clients across the full spectrum of tax and investigations – and especially voluntary disclosures. He often works in conjunction with leading accountancy firms to minimise the client's risk of prosecution and the amount of tax properly payable.

Described as having 'great depth and breadth of experience' in tax investigations, 'extremely calm and a huge benefit to clients' and with 'no problem he hasn't solved before', Maurice has been involved in many of the major cases of the past twenty years, although by working closely with our media and reputation team these have rarely resulted in publicity.

Maurice has been consistently recognised in the leading legal directories. He is currently ranked in Band 1 in Chambers UK Tax: Contentious Fraud and in Chambers High Net Worth Tax: Private Client, where as former head of Withers' Tax Investigations team he led the team to achieve Band 1 recognition.
