Spear’s Review

Tax barrister Morag Ofili specialises in private wealth tax disputes at Edwin Coe. With a focus on advising high-profile individuals and international families, she has provided her expertise across a gamut of tax-related issues, including commercial fraud, conduct/fairness proceedings against HMRC, insolvency-based disputes, professional negligence claims, failed tax planning and cross-border tax investigations.

Prior to joining Edwin Coe, Ofili cut her teeth at Big Four firm EY and later served as a managing associate at Mishcon de Reya and Harbottle & Lewis. She also spent time at the criminal bar, where she specialised in corporate and financial crime. This, she tells Spear’s, equipped her with a deep understanding of the investigative process and enabled her to anticipate challenges while developing robust strategies.

‘When a tax issue arises for my clients, it’s rarely just about the money,’ she says. ‘It’s about protecting a legacy, safeguarding reputation and restoring peace of mind.’
