A key strength of the Hall & Wilcox Taxation group is the size, depth and breadth of expertise, with a number of our partners considered leaders in the field. Our advisers have combined legal and accounting tax expertise, with wide-ranging experience in ‘Big 4’ chartered accounting firms, the State Revenue Office, the Australian Taxation Office and on the Board of Taxation of Australia.
