Tax, Trust and Technology Lawyers
Specialists
We fix tax problems and resolve tax disputes. We prepare high-level tax documentation for complex structures and transactions as well as dealing with revenue authorities and other parties about those structures and transactions.
We draft and advise on novel and difficult trust deeds and equitable interests, and the boundaries and consequences of trust administration and transactions. We advise upon new technologies and have a deep and technical understanding of how they operate. Our related company Cartland Tech (creator of Ailira) develops legal technology. We have practical experience in automation, systems operation, artificial intelligence, conversation agents and cryptocurrencies. We provide advice and related documents to lawyers, accountants, advisors and businesses. We will typically be engaged as specialists who are part of a broader team of advisors, in a role akin to Counsel.
We do not accept instructions that are outside the areas of tax, trust or technology. We do not do Wills, commercial negotiation, or dispute resolution. We only accept litigation instructions where a tax office is one of the parties. We can comfortably provide services to the clients of other advisors without risk of competition. With our rigid focus we are able to offer a high level of technical ability in our narrow field.Â

Weekly Tax Training
Cartland Law’s Tax Training is held each week from 9 am to 10 am on Friday mornings. We have been holding these Tax Training in some form for over ten years. Originally, they were held for the staff of Dr Campbell Rankine and open to interested parties. Dr Rankine still leads the majority of the sessions.
The format of the tax trainings is a discussion group and not a lecture. They are at an advanced level and intended to delve deep rather than wide.

Articles
At Cartland Law we write on novel and creative ideas relating to Tax, Trusts and Technology. We do not write general summaries of legistation, cases or ideas. Nor is this aimed at an intoductory or general level. These articles are (hopefully) interesting evergreen insights by specialists for the enjoyment of lawyers, accountants and other profesionals.
