ThoughtLeaders4Fire: FIRE Summer School: The Ultimate Insider’s Guide

Ruth Jordan will be speaking at the upcoming ThoughtLeaders4Fire: FIRE Summer School: The Ultimate Insider’s Guide, taking place from Wednesday, 28th – Friday, 30th August. 

ThoughtLeaders4Fire: FIRE Summer School is bringing you the ‘Ultimate Insider’s Guide’ to all things Asset Recovery. If you are newly qualified and looking to broaden your knowledge and refine your skills then you need to be here. 

Ruth will be speaking on Friday, 30th August at 11:40 AM on ‘Everything you need to know about Asset Recovery into Trusts.’ Ruth joins Natasha Fons (Pinsent Masons) for her session. 

Ruth is involved in litigation and advisory work domestically and offshore in commercial, trusts and property matters. She has expertise and wide experience across the areas of trusts, tax litigation, company disputes, charities, insolvency and public law and often where these areas intersect. She appears frequently on these matters (led and unled) in the High Court, Tax Tribunals, Court of Appeal and Privy Council. Ruth has a strong offshore practice and in addition to her commercial chancery practice has been heavily involved in a long-running series of judicial review, contempt and constitutional proceedings in The Bahamas.

Ruth’s government work is predominantly in the areas of tax and trusts: she appeared for HMRC in the landmark Supreme Court appeals in Pitt v Holt and Futter v Futter; in a series of matters on appeal to the Court of Appeal on the application of transfer pricing rules to shareholder transactions and the meaning of ‘loss’ for corporation tax purposes; and, currently, on a series of tax appeals relating to the validity of remuneration trusts.
