Alexander Beesley

I am a lawyer specialising in corporate tax. As an associate in the International Corporate Group, I cover all aspects of corporate taxation, advising on a broad range of domestic and cross-border corporate and financing transactions, as well as tax aspects of employment, pensions and VAT queries across all the firm's sectors.

Since joining Bird & Bird, I regularly act for clients ranging from entrepreneurs and investors to large multinationals, financial institutions, and corporations across all the firm's sectors, including Energy & Utilities, Financial Services, and Technology & Communications. With clients in these spaces often operating on a multi-jurisdictional level, my advice is usually provided within an international framework.

I have a particular focus on assisting clients on M&A and financing deals, corporate structuring and re-structuring, as part of their plans to expand their businesses both in the UK and internationally. My expertise also extends to advising individuals and corporations on employment tax issues, particularly in relation to the IR35 regime.

I have contributed to several tax articles in association with LexisNexis.

In addition to my native language, English, I am fluent in Spanish and German and proficient in French.
