Dan Neidle Keynote Speaker

Dan Neidle is one of Britain’s most respected voices on taxation and public policy. After 23 years at Clifford Chance—culminating in leading its UK tax practice—he stepped aside in 2022 to create Tax Policy Associates, a non-profit that brings forensic clarity to the most complex fiscal issues.

His independent investigations have reshaped national headlines. In 2022–23, Neidle’s analysis of Nadhim Zahawi’s offshore share structure triggered a multi-million-pound HMRC settlement and the minister’s eventual dismissal, earning Neidle the British Journalism Award for “Investigation of the Year.”

In 2024, Neidle received the John Stokdyk Outstanding Contribution Award at the Accounting Excellence Awards, recognizing his significant impact on the accounting and tax profession. He also launched the BBC Radio 4 series “Untaxing” in March 2025, demystifying complex tax issues for a broader audience.

Today, he briefs boards, regulators, and parliamentary committees on everything from corporate tax governance to the economics of windfall levies. Media outlets including the BBC, Financial Times, and The Guardian rely on his razor-sharp commentary to decode fast-moving policy debates and high-profile tax scandals.

On stage, Neidle translates labyrinthine statutes into actionable insights—helping business leaders anticipate reputational risk, policymakers design fairer systems, and audiences of all backgrounds see why tax really matters. His presentations pair trenchant analysis with engaging storytelling, leaving listeners better equipped to navigate a rapidly changing fiscal landscape.
