In 2014, Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers moved out of Gray’s Inn to state-of-the-art offices in the City. This was a move that prompted a number of departures, but the new building has been well received by solicitors who ‘love the new premises’ and continue to see the set as ‘one of the best for tax work’. It is strong in private client and corporate tax, both in the UK and internationally. The clerks’ room provides ‘a very good service’, and instructing parties ‘enjoy working with’ Chris Broom, who is ‘invariably cheerful, accommodating and responsive’.
