A UK law and professional services firm working with private clients among others has named a head of tax.

UK-based law and professional services firm Gordon Dadds has appointed Huw Witty to the newly-formed role of partner and head of tax, joining the firm from Fladgate where he was partner and head of tax for six years.  

Witty is a "prominent advisor", Gordon Dadds said in a statement, on all tax aspects of corporate finance, venture capital, property finance, property and capital market transactions and funds, and international private wealth.

With more than 20 years of experience as a tax partner, Witty was described in Chambers Global 2014 as a “skilled and experienced tax lawyer” and is ranked as a leading individual. Witty will work with tax director Roger Harding.
