    [Mediator_CV] => I was an Expert Witness in a High Court tax case where an employee disputed amounts due under a US tax equalisation policy. This required reviewing tax equalisation calculations prepared by a BIg 4 accountancy firm to determine if they were correct, writing a technical opinion, and advising the Court accordingly. My client won the case.
