One minute with Judith Freedman, Professor of Taxation Law, University of Oxford
How did you end up in tax?
It was the most intellectually engaging topic I came across during my training and women were not expected to choose it so I went for it. I don't like being obvious.
Who in tax do you most admire?
I learned my tax in practice from some amazingly good lawyers at Freshfields. I never had the advantage of studying tax at university so when I came to teach it John Tiley's book was a lifeline. I was then fortunate to have several mentors who were both practitioners and academics such as John Avery Jones David Oliver and Malcolm Gammie. I feel very lucky to have come into contact with so many exceptional experts.
