We are pleased to have been shortlisted for Best Corporate Tax Practice, while associate Rachel Palmer has also been recognised in the Rising Star category at the Tolley’s Taxation Awards 2026.

These prestigious awards celebrate outstanding achievements across the tax profession, recognising excellence in firms of all sizes, specialist practices, in-house teams and public sector professionals.

Being shortlisted for two separate awards reflects the team’s high quality, responsiveness and clarity of commercially-focused tax advice. The team’s reputation for combining its tax skills seamlessly with Gateley’s broader legal services makes it stand out among its peers. It also highlights the team’s strengths across the many different tax issues that our clients face at every stage of their business journey, meshing perfectly with the unique, multi-disciplinary nature of Gateley and our ability to support clients across a broad range of needs throughout their journey.

We are also proud of Rachel for being shortlisted for the Rising Star award. This category celebrates emerging talent within the profession, and Rachel’s nomination is testament to her expertise, hard work and the meaningful contribution she continues to make to both clients and the wider team.

Bernhard Gilbey, partner and tax unit head at Gateley Legal, commented: “I’m proud to see the tax team recognised in this year’s shortlist. Most of all, it reflects the hard work and dedication of the team in supporting our colleagues and Gateley’s many and varied clients at the highest level. It shines a well-deserved spotlight on the strength of our practice and the excellent work delivered across the team. Rachel’s Rising Star nomination is especially well deserved and highlights the exceptional talent we’re developing within the unit.”
