Catherine Gannon

Who I am

Very proud to be the Founder of Gannons which was a start up once upon a time but now employs over 21 people with turnover in the millions.

I am constantly fascinated by the drive of those prepared to take a risk in business. My role is to run a firm which calculates and confines risk for our clients.  It feels good to know I am actively contributing to Brand GB and giving back.  I have learnt much along the way and have been very privileged in working with some industry greats.  I pass their knowledge onto my team who pass it onto our clients – another great feeling.  What is there not to like?

Practice areas relating to tax include:

I trained as a tax lawyer. As a check that I am being commercial I ask myself how do the numbers fit into the legal solutions proposed?

• Re-organisations and business re-structures
• Taxation issues for corporate transactions
• Tax indemnities and warranties
• Negotiation with HMRC on tax disputes
• A growing practice area – tax litigation

Professional memberships

• Solicitor
• Chartered Tax Advisor
• Catherine is a regular speaker for the Chartered Institute of Taxation on latest tax and company law developments.

Catherine is also a committee member for the charity Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice

I am a regular commentator on the legal world and its challenges.
