Melissa qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Arthur Andersen, where she worked primarily with the UK subsidiaries of large US technology companies on UK and international corporate tax issues. As a result, she then worked in the US for a year and was also seconded to a UK telecoms client, as their in-house tax manager for 6 months. The following two years were spent on secondment to UK Trade and Investment, advising and assisting overseas companies doing business in the UK.
This led to a similar role at PricewaterhouseCoopers for several years before joining Fitzgerald and Law in 2006, where she specialises in international expansion and business tax issues. As is true of the team, Melissa’s work covers all sectors though many are technology based. She works particularly on international expansions and structuring, and also deals with transfer pricing and UK tax efficient share schemes.
