Bob Silverman

Partner, GDLSK LLP

Robert B. Silverman is a founding member and heads the Firm’s litigation group. He has been counsel in over 125 decisions issued by the U.S. Court of International Trade, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and a number of U.S. District Courts. These court actions have involved a wide array of customs issues including tariff classification, customs valuation, country of origin determinations, exclusions based on claims of forced labor, recordkeeping penalty cases, and section 1592 civil penalty cases. In addition to these court decisions, Mr. Silverman has stipulated or negotiated a large number of cases with the U.S. Department of Justice thereby avoiding judicial involvement. Mr. Silverman was lead counsel in the landmark case Trimil SA vs. United States (2017) which overturned Customs’ position on the dutiability of related party royalties.

Stuart Griffin

Business Development Director, IBISWorld

I have over 10 years of experience at IBISWorld, specifically supporting Accounting Firms across Europe with Industry information. Throughout my career, I have cultivated strong relationships with some of the world’s leading accounting firms.

My personal dedication also extends to international accounting networks. During my time at IBISWorld, I have had the pleasure of working with MGI members, including Rickard Luckin and F W Smith & Riches, this demonstrates my ability to cater to the specific needs of firms that vary within their specialisations.

Both in the lead up to the conference and during it, I am relishing the opportunity to connect with further MGI members to understand how our information can support day-to-day Accountancy work.

Liam Flanagan

Senior Business Development Manager, IBISWorld

For the past two-and-a-half years, I have worked with a wide range of accountancy firms across Europe, creating long term commercial partnerships through highlighting how IBISWorld’s industry data delivers value. This includes some firms within the MGI Network.

Regularly working with audit, advisory, corporate finance, valuations, forensics, restructuring, international tax and marketing/bd teams, I help these teams to understand how they can boost efficiencies through enhanced industry knowledge.

I’m very excited about the prospect of connecting with members of the MGI Network and look forward to meeting you all!

George Fox

Head of Sales - Europe, IBISWorld

Over the last five years at IBISWorld, I have gained extensive experience of supporting accounting firms throughout Europe that work either independently or as part of a network.

To date, my role has allowed to me to collaborate with over 150 Accounting firms via our Industry Information platform, where we report on over 14,000 industries globally (at both a country & continental level).

Within my work I take great pleasure in seeing our accounting clients benefit from using our solution across Audit, Tax, Legal and Corporate Finance service lines.

On a personal level, I am really looking to meeting MGI members that will be in attendance in October and understanding more about how their businesses are structured, as well as how they may benefit from our Industry information.
