MSc Finance, Accounting & Management
University of Bradford, United Kingdom
Advanced study in finance, accounting and management that now informs the analysis of tax assessments, financial records, corporate transactions and revenue consequences.
Education
A professional formation in both law and finance.
Formal training in finance, accounting and management provides an unusually strong foundation for the analysis of complex fiscal disputes.
The differentiator
Tax litigation is rarely a question of statutory language alone.
It frequently requires counsel to understand financial statements, accounting treatment, business structures, risk, cash flow, transactions and the commercial context in which a tax dispute arose.
Faheem Ali Memon completed an MSc in Finance, Accounting & Management at the University of Bradford before completing his legal education and qualification as a Barrister-at-Law. This dual foundation enables him to examine fiscal disputes through both legal and financial lenses.
LLB

Bar-at-Law
BPP University · Lincoln’s Inn
Professional advocacy training followed by call to the Bar through Lincoln’s Inn, United Kingdom.
Finance in practice
Understanding the numbers behind the legal issue.
In tax litigation, the legal characterisation of income, expenditure, credits, losses, withholding, minimum tax, valuation and corporate arrangements cannot be separated from their financial substance.
The MSc background strengthens counsel’s ability to interrogate accounting records, communicate with tax officers and finance teams, and translate financially complex material into a precise question of law for the court.
