Jon Paul has just under two decades of experience in the energy, tax, and commercial sectors. He regularly advises on energy-related matters across the value chain, whether it be upstream, midstream, downstream, or service-related. He also regularly advises on both contentious and non-contentious tax matters and represents both local and international clients before the Tax Appeal Board with respect to appeals against assessments made by the Board of Inland Revenue. His practice also involves advising on industrial regulation (including HSE matters), joint ventures, M&A transactions, and other commercial/corporate matters.
Jon Paul’s work often involves significant interface with personnel at various Government ministries and bodies, including, in particular, the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, the Board of Inland Revenue, and several State Enterprises, and he enjoys a good working relationship with the various personnel at these State institutions and companies.
