Tax law sits at the centre of business, politics, and society - and in 2025, it’s undergoing a seismic shift. With a new government in power, the legal and commercial tax landscape is being reshaped through reforms like the end of the non-dom regime, the tightening of trust taxation, and the global adoption of the OECD’s Pillar Two rules.

In this forward-looking session, experienced tax lawyers from top firms will break down the most significant developments affecting both individual and corporate taxpayers. From the implications of the new ‘Foreign Income and Gains’ regime to HMRC’s tougher stance on platform sellers, we’ll examine how these changes impact clients - and what aspiring lawyers need to know to stay commercially aware and technically sharp.

Whether you’re interested in tax advisory work, transactional support, or contentious tax matters, this panel will equip you with insights into one of the most intellectually rigorous and commercially critical areas of legal practice.
