Wright joins the company with long‑standing experience in advising both UK and cross‑border businesses on tax issues.

His work has covered areas such as corporate structuring, international taxation, transactional support and ongoing compliance.

Wright said: “I am delighted to be joining S&W at such an exciting time for the firm.

“Throughout my career I have focused on helping businesses tackle their most significant tax challenges, from navigating international tax changes to supporting major transactions and restructuring.

“S&W’s growth, ambition and collaborative culture really resonated with me, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.”

Throughout his career, Wright has worked with organisations operating in different sectors, helping them respond to shifting tax rules and regulatory demands.

He has also advised on tax solutions designed to support clients’ broader commercial and strategic aims.
