There are only 14 Law Institute of Victoria-accredited Tax Law specialists state-wide, and of these, four head up the Harwood Andrews Lawyers Taxation practice - Rob Jeremiah, Ron Jorgensen, Joanna Monahan and Daniel Smedley. They are regular presenters at various State and National conferences and other select events, where their profound knowledge of taxation matters is shared with fellow professionals.
These skills are backed by experience and high level involvement in consulting with the Australian Taxation Office and Treasury in the creation and interpretation of the tax law through the various consultative committees of which practitioners from Harwood Andrews Lawyers are members.
This experience is complemented by a team of lawyers who bring a diverse skills set to the practice, with backgrounds in industry and leading chartered accounting firms.
The Harwood Andrews Lawyers Taxation team provides a range of taxation advice including:
- Income Tax

In addition to our advisory services Harwood Andrews Lawyers also assists clients resolve disputes with the various State and Federal regulatory authorities by a variety of means ranging from negotiated settlements through to acting on behalf of clients before the tribunals and courts.
