HMRC wins The Lawyer award
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Solicitor's Office wins 鈥業n-house Legal Operations team of the year鈥� at The Lawyer awards
HMRC鈥檚 Solicitor鈥檚 Office and Legal Services (SOLS) won 鈥業n-House Legal Operations Team of the Year鈥� award on 2 November.
This recognises the outstanding work of HMRC鈥檚 legal group in the design and delivery of the furlough and other Covid support schemes to extraordinary deadlines 鈥� alongside innovative work to establish a new UK customs regime and maintain litigation outcomes during the pandemic lockdown.
Alan Evans, General Counsel and Director General for SOLS, said: 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 be prouder of our team. Our people have worked at pace to devise ground-breaking new schemes to support jobs and businesses during the pandemic 鈥� while also helping HMRC prepare for EU transition 鈥� and protecting 拢10 billion tax in litigation, working virtually with the courts and tribunals. This couldn鈥檛 have been achieved without the fantastic support of colleagues across the Government Legal Profession.鈥�
