Morag Ofili

Spear’s Review

Tax barrister Morag Ofili leads the private wealth tax disputes offering at Edwin Coe. With a focus on advising high-profile individuals and international families, she has provided her expertise across a gamut of tax-related issues including commercial fraud, conduct/fairness proceedings against HMRC, insolvency-based disputes, professional negligence, failed tax planning and cross-border tax investigations.

Prior to joining Edwin Coe, Ofili cut her teeth at Big Four firm EY then later served as managing associate at Mishcon de Reya and Harbottle & Lewis. She also spent time at the criminal bar where she specialised in corporate and financial crime. This, she told Spear's, equipped her with a deep understanding of the investigative process and enabled her to anticipate challenges while developing robust strategies.

'When a tax issue arises for my clients, it’s rarely just about the money,' she said. 'It’s about protecting a legacy, safeguarding reputation and restoring peace of mind.'
