Counter Tax Litigators LLP has been included in the 2026 ITR World Tax rankings in the Tax Controversy category. The rankings assess firms across more than 140 jurisdictions, with emphasis on recent matters, consistency of approach, and execution in complex tax disputes.

Natalie Worsfold, Managing Partner of Counter Tax Litigators LLP, said:
“ITR’s rankings reflect how firms perform in live disputes over time. Our work begins once a reassessment is issued and the dispute becomes real. We focus on restoring and maintaining control by giving executives a clear, disciplined basis for decision-making as the matter unfolds.”

For executives managing significant CRA disputes, the ranking serves as a straightforward external reference point. It reflects ITR’s assessment of the firm’s approach to case theory, evidence development, quantitative modelling, and resolution planning within active disputes.

Counter LLP continues to focus exclusively on disputes where legal interpretation and evidentiary judgment materially affect outcomes, applying structured argument and disciplined execution from reassessment through resolution.
