BKL welcome three new tax partners

News

As part of the continued growth of our tax team, we’re proud to announce the appointment of Susie Mullin, Sehjal Gupta and Luigi Lungarella as partners at Wilson Wright: City of London based accountancy, tax and business advisory firm and part of BKL.

Susie Mullin: Private Client Tax Partner

Susie has more than 20 years’ experience focussed on advising entrepreneurs and business owners at all stages of their business journey.

She is particularly passionate about advising shareholders on exit transactions – whether that be sales to trade, private equity, or management, or transitioning ownership to the next generation.

Sehjal Gupta: Private Client Tax Partner

Sehjal brings two decades of expertise advising non-UK domiciled individuals (non-doms), high net worth clients and people with cross-border tax considerations.

She often supports clients during life events such as divorce, where she is highly regarded for her expertise in Single Joint Expert reports.

Luigi Lungarella: VAT Partner

Luigi has over 25 years’ experience in indirect taxation: ensuring that UK and international businesses and not-for-profit organisations are compliant, identifying risks, taking advantage of VAT reliefs and maximising VAT recovery.

As he focuses on growing our VAT services, he’ll be working closely with our tax consultants and contributing significantly to our presence within DFK International’s global alliance.

Meet Luigi Lungarella

Susie, Sehjal and Luigi have joined at an exciting time for the business, one year since BKL and Wilson Wright came together. This builds on a period of sustained growth including the appointment of Neil Lancaster as Private Client Tax Partner in September 2024. It also coincides with Juliet Shaw joining BKL as Chief Growth Officer.

These latest strategic appointments reinforce our commitment to an outstanding, extensive tax advisory service that meets complex needs from individuals, families, trusts and businesses.

Susie Mullin said:

“I am absolutely delighted to have joined the team at BKL/Wilson Wright. I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.

I’m really excited to be part of such a great team focussed on the entrepreneurial space and continuing to provide sell-side advice to founders and management teams.”

Sehjal Gupta said:

“It’s always nerve-wracking joining somewhere new and unfamiliar but I know I made the right choice.

The firm’s work and clients are of such high standard due to the culture, ethos and values shared by all. I feel extremely proud to be a partner here and with such like-minded people. I am so looking forward to this next chapter.”

Luigi Lungarella said:

“I am excited to have joined as Indirect Tax Partner.

I have been very impressed with the firm’s plans to achieve significant growth. I’m looking forward to playing my part in driving that growth: working with the team to help national and international businesses navigate the complex world of indirect tax.”

Lee Brook, CEO of BKL, said:

“We are thrilled to welcome Susie, Sehjal, and Luigi. Each brings a wealth of experience and expertise, adding to the existing depth and breadth of our well-regarded tax team.

Their arrival supports our ambition to be one of the leading tax advisory practices for owner-managed businesses and high net worth individuals.

These hires reflect our ongoing commitment to offering our clients the highest calibre of advice across the full spectrum of tax services.”
