James Ramsden QC and Kelly Stricklin-Coutinho are advising on issues arising from the SKAT Litigation, which concerns Denmark's investigation into the Solo Capital hedge fund, owned by Sanjay Shah. The case concerns alleged complex tax fraud in respect of dividend stripping.

Kelly Stricklin-Coutinho's experience in this area includes cases against revenue authorities concerning claims for refunds of dividend tax, withholding tax, tax arbitrage and multi-jurisdictional claims for tax refunds in respect of dividends. She has litigated for taxpayers on tax issues in the tax tribunals, every level of English court and the CJEU.
