Adam Craggs

Spear’s Review

Reynolds Porter Chamberlain’s Adam Craggs has become a go-to lawyer for high-profile tax dispute cases involving HNW individuals. 

He spent 16 years working in HMRC’s solicitor’s office and now finds himself on the other side of the fence, working with HNW clients who are facing tax-related complications. 

His experience working for HMRC has been invaluable. He tells Spear’s: ‘It gave me an insight into the inner workings of the revenue,’ adding that a number of his colleagues have also previously worked there. 

‘I genuinely believe that [having worked at HMRC] gives us the edge in the disputes work we undertake for clients involving HMRC.’
