Research Experience

Research Assistant to Dr Ian Roxan, Senior Lecturer, LSE (2007-09).
I assisted Dr Roxan with the UK national response to the questionnaire for the 2009 Congress of the European Association of Tax Law Professors (EATLP). My contributions involved critically analysing the interaction of the mutual assistance provisions of over 20 international tax treaties between the UK and EU Member States, and the tax UK legislation.
 

Teaching Experience

Class Instructor, Undergraduate Tax Law, LSE (2008-10)
I was responsible for most of the classes of the LLB Tax Law course. My main objective was to help the students consolidate the information they had been taught in their lectures. I am pleased to say that most of my students were infected by my enthusiasm for tax, and by the end of each academic year we would be have some thrilling debates about taxation and its impact on society, without much instigation on my part.
