Alan Neal MA CTA TEP Alan joined mfg Solicitors in 1974 and is now the managing director and finance partner of the firm. He is also office partner of the Halesowen office. He specialises in finance and tax within the private client division. Areas of expertise: Alan has a wealth of experience both in the law and in taxation and is named in the Legal 500. He qualified as a solicitor more than 30 years ago and then obtained dual qualification as a chartered tax adviser some four years later. His professional expertise extends not only to private clients, including high net worth individuals but to owner-managed businesses and the farming and agricultural community. Alan has recently been involved in three high profile inheritance tax cases, namely Antrobus I and Williams, both of which went to the Special Commissioners, and Antrobus II, which went to the Lands Tribunal. All of these cases were groundbreaking in clarifying important issues relating to agricultural property relief for inheritance tax purposes.

In addition he is clerk to the General Commissioners for Income Tax Purposes for the Kidderminster Division and is also a member of Solicitors for the Elderly, an organisation committed to providing and promoting robust, comprehensive and independent legal advice for older and vulnerable people, their family and carers.
