About Buzzacott LLP

Each team member has a personal development plan, which is agreed each year, reviewed at mid-year and progress evaluated at the end of each year. The Firm facilitates career progression where possible. In March 2014, two team members were seconded to Hong Kong to establish and build the Firm's expatriate tax practice in Asia. As another example, an Administrator has recently transferred to the fee earning side of the team after expressing an interest to train as a Tax Consultant.

The Buzzacott Stuart Defries Memorial Fund (the Fund) – in 2003, the Partners set up a charitable trust in memory of a former Partner, Stuart Defries, who was killed in a tragic accident. Volunteering initiatives and community programmes under the auspices of the Fund. These include The Access Project, which helps bright but disadvantaged teenagers to improve grades and access to university, New Horizon programmes for NEET youngsters and a local primary school reading programme. One-off volunteering activities/team events this year included activities with KidsCo, with a local football summer school and with a city farm. The Fund also awards grants every year to charities, chiefly supporting disadvantaged communities in boroughs bordering the City, with a particular focus on children and young people and also through the staff suggestion and matched giving scheme.
