Eamon can give written advice to help prevent tax disputes arising or advise and represent you if you already have a dispute in progress.
Military History and Tactics in Law and Business
Eamon says: "Military history and tactics is an area of special interest for me and has been since I studied history at university.

"I have also found over the years that an understanding of military tactics and reasoning translates very well into the whole area of law and litigation and, indeed, into the wider spectrum of business and city life.

"I occasionally meet with a small group, on an unofficial basis, to discuss and analyse tactics and strategy of specific battles and to look at how this can be used today in law and business.

"I have occasionally been asked to share this and so, from time to time, I will publish here some battle analysis and lessons you can learn to carry to your own area of business.

"If you are interested in military strategy and tactics and would like to join the discussion / meetings or have a favourite battle tactic of your own, please email me."
