His practice includes a broad range of financing transactions, including securitisations, hybrid capital issuances, repackaging transactions, credit-linked instruments, real estate financing, insurance-linked bonds, and stock lending arrangements. Adam advises on corporate acquisitions, demergers, joint ventures and reorganisations in the UK and internationally.

Working across finance, corporate and restructuring sectors, Adam provides integrated advice on complex transactions and disputes, supporting clients throughout the full lifecycle of transactions, from initial structuring through execution to resolution. He also provides counsel on disputes and litigation with revenue authorities, and has represented clients before the appellate courts.

Adam is also actively involved in professional and pro bono initiatives.

One of the legal directories noted that Adam is a “truly outstanding tax lawyer” who" understands the technical aspects of a deal in great detail" and "is one of those lawyers who knows what the answer will be, then does the work to get the deal over the line.”
