I had the pleasure of working with Leon at HSBC and was very impressed with his extensive knowledge of Taxation of Insurance entities and corporate taxation overall. He was a pleasure to work with and was always willing to take the time needed to discuss our mutual work and detail the technical aspects of the issues we were dealing with. Even through the most challenging of times working under tight deadlines and heavy work loads, Leon stayed composed and got the job done. Leon has great skills and knowledge and is an asset to any Tax Department he is given the opportunity to thrive in.
