Report
In September 2019 I was introduced electronically by my South African tax advisor to Graham Busch, a partner in Gerald Edelman, and his colleague Sonal Shah, with a view to being assisted with tax and related matters associated with re-location to the UK. Following a telephone conversation with Graham, I appointed Gerald Edelman to play this role. I am very pleased to have done so: the service has been personal, attentive to our specific needs, well informed, appropriately conservative and efficient. I envisage drawing on the firm's services in the years ahead.
