What our clients say
-
Shenal and his team took over from a previous partner who had told us that our R&D Claims were no longer in-scope bearing in mind the changes in approach from HMRC. Even in the first meeting Shenal impressed with his comprehensive understanding of the R&D relief field and chose the best approach to address the needs of the HMRC and keeping true to the intentions of the new scheme. We ended up being successful at the first attempt – which is testament to Shenal’s approach. He will not take on a case unless he is convinced that there is merit in it.
