About

I have primarily practiced law related to taxation, specifically transfer pricing, from the perspective of the regulator. I am interested in extending my knowledge of taxation, as well as of bankruptcy. I particularly enjoy researching questions of law and composing argumentation therefrom, especially in a collaborative environment.
