Evelyn Partners continues expansion of Birmingham professional services team with senior appointment

Rick joins from Vialto Partners where he led and established the Birmingham team as it transitioned out of PwC following the transaction in April 2022. Rick specialises in global mobility tax and consulting services to companies and their cross-border employees, particularly for senior individuals moving into or out of the UK. He has also provided wider support on immigration, corporate mobility planning and policy creation and has extensive experience ensuring tax compliance for inbound and outbound employees across a number of jurisdictions beyond the UK including US expatriate tax. Prior to Vialto Partners, Rick spent 11 years at PwC and 8 years at Deloitte which included periods abroad in the US and Australia.

Rick joins the Birmingham office of Evelyn Partners at 103 Colmore Row in the heart of the city’s business district. The office offers a broad range of professional and financial services to individuals and businesses across the Midlands nationally and internationally from a team of circa 250 people.

Stephen Drew, Professional Services Regional Managing Partner at Evelyn Partners in Birmingham commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Rick to our team of local professional services specialists offering end-to-end services to meet our clients’ needs throughout their life and at every stage of the business lifecycle. Rick’s extensive experience in the global mobility tax and consulting services space will be invaluable as we continue to expand the depth and breadth of services we offer to our growing client base across the Midlands. Driving growth requires engaging with new markets and attracting high quality talent often from overseas, and requires careful planning.”

Rick Shaw added: “I am very excited by the opportunity to join the Evelyn Partners team. Throughout a rigorous and rewarding phase of getting to know each other during the recruitment process, I knew I was speaking to like-minded people who are focused on clients, people and quality, and it was clear that Evelyn Partners was the firm for me.  My experience and expertise will help expand the geographical footprint of the national Employer Solutions team and further complement the wider professional services and wealth management offerings provided in the Midlands.

“It is an exciting time to be based in the Midlands given the real sense of optimism in the region. As businesses look to grow, many will plan for increased international coverage whilst trying to navigate an increasingly complex international employment and compliance environment. In particular, the recent Budget announcements concerning planned changes to the UK domicile regime will require advanced planning and I am looking forward to supporting current and future clients as they work through this period of change.”
