One minute with... David Goldberg QC

One minute with David Goldberg QC, barrister, Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers

What attracted you to the Bar?

Independence and courage the qualities of the Bar at its best; the opportunity to represent those in some form of trouble; the chance to overcome the brute force of state power with dispassionate reason; and the possibility of participating in the development of the continuing traditions of our remarkable common law.

Who do you most admire in tax?

Mr Justice Rowlatt because he had a sure instinct for the right answer; my pupil master Sir Andrew Park who gave me knowledge; my head of Chambers Milton Grundy who taught me how to be radical how to simplify a transaction and how to use the power of imagination in analysis; and everybody else I have ever worked with.
