Coordinated advice
Where a tax matter also involves insolvency, litigation or property, Dave works with the relevant Meridian practice. We review the available information, applicable deadlines and legal options before advising on next steps. Decisions on relief and enforcement remain with Inland Revenue or the courts.
Student-loan matters
Student-loan legal services also form part of Dave’s practice. See student loans for that distinct area of work.
