Georgia Hicks

Barrister

Devereux

Georgia’s areas of practice are tax, employment, and sports law with a particular specialism in the cross-over between tax and employment.

Georgia is recognised as leading junior by both Legal 500 (VAT, Tier 2; Corporate, Tier 3) and Chambers and Partners (Band 3), where she is described as “a rising junior with strong expertise in employment taxes”.

With a background in both tax and employment, Georgia is ideally placed to advise on all aspects of the world of work, from employment status issues (including IR35 an off-payroll working), to employment taxes, the tax implications of share disposals, residency, domicile, NICs, and everything in between. She has strong practice in taxpayer litigation, regularly receiving instructions in the Court of Appeal, Upper Tribunal and First-tier Tribunal. Whilst she has a particular specialism in employment-related taxes, she acts for both taxpayers and HMRC on a broad range of tax issues. Appointed to the Attorney General's Panel of Counsel (B Panel), Georgia is also regularly instructed by HMRC, especially in cases involving employment-related tax avoidance schemes, labour supply fraud, residence and domicile issues, DOTAS applications, and Judicial Review.
