Consultancy Services I Offer

 

With over 5,000 stakeholders trained across more than 30 countries, and a client base spanning governments, United Nations agencies, and private sector organisations, my consultancy work is built on one foundation: I have been inside the systems I advise on. That depth of exposure — across continents, institutions, and legal traditions — is what I bring to every engagement.

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Money leaves developing economies through trade mispricing, shell companies, and corrupt financial structures. I identify the mechanisms, trace the flows, and design the legal and regulatory interventions to stop them.

International Taxation, Taxing Digital Business Models

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Digital giants generate billions from markets they are not taxed in. I advise on how jurisdictions can assert their taxing rights — through domestic law, treaty design, and multilateral frameworks — and ensure the revenue stays where the value is created.

Alternatives to the IMF and World Bank

Investigating and Curbing Illicit Financial Flows Schemes

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

Bretton Woods conditionality has long constrained sovereign fiscal choices. I work with governments and institutions to identify, design, and operationalise alternative financing architectures that preserve policy space and fiscal sovereignty.

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

A state that cannot fund itself cannot govern itself. I advise governments on strengthening their revenue systems — closing gaps, broadening bases, and designing redistribution mechanisms that are legally sound and economically credible.

Extractives, Debt and Development

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

Extractives, Debt and Development

Resource wealth should build nations, not indebt them. I advise on the legal and fiscal frameworks governing extractive industries and sovereign debt, ensuring that development financing serves long-term national interest rather than undermining it.

Zakat (Islamic Tax on Wealth)

Domestic Revenue Mobilisation and Redistribution

Extractives, Debt and Development

Zakat is one of the world's oldest wealth redistribution instruments, yet it remains underutilised in public finance architecture. I advise governments and institutions on integrating Zakat into domestic revenue systems and social financing frameworks — with doctrinal rigour and practical precision.

Wealth Tax and Cutting the Cord that fosters Inequality

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Extreme wealth concentration is not inevitable — it is a policy choice. I advise on the design and implementation of wealth taxation instruments that are legally robust, administratively feasible, and structurally capable of reducing inequality.

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Artificial intelligence and digital transformation raise questions that existing legal and tax frameworks were not built to answer. I advise governments, regulators, and organisations on the legal, ethical, and fiscal dimensions of an economy being rapidly reshaped by technology.

Fiscal Decentralisation and State Responsibilities

Legal, Ethical and Tax Concerns Around Digitalisation and AI

Fiscal Decentralisation and State Responsibilities

Who collects, who spends, and who is accountable — these are not just administrative questions, they are constitutional ones. I advise on the legal architecture of fiscal decentralisation, ensuring that devolved systems are coherent, equitable, and fit for purpose.

Transparency and Accountability in Financial Flows

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

Fiscal Decentralisation and State Responsibilities

Opacity in public and private financial flows enables corruption, tax evasion, and the erosion of public trust. I advise on legal and institutional frameworks that enforce transparency, strengthen accountability mechanisms, and make financial governance legible to those it is meant to serve.

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

The negotiations underway at the United Nations will set the terms of international tax cooperation for decades. I provide technical support to governments and civil society navigating these negotiations — on treaty design, protocol architecture, and the strategic choices that will define their position in the emerging global tax order.

Illegal Use of Digital Infrastructure for Unilateral Coercive Measures

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

Technical Support for Negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Coop

Digital infrastructure is increasingly weaponised as an instrument of economic coercion. I advise on the legal frameworks — domestic and international — that govern, challenge, and constrain the use of digital tools to impose unlawful unilateral measures.
