"if appropriate" = to avoid tax, disclosure or regulation.

Condemned out of your own mouth.

As you should know, a solicitor is not required to advise on anything unless it is within his retainer, and I have always refused to advise on tax "mitigation". Indeed a solicitor is required by the SRA not to advise on anything that is not within his competence, and I always make it quite clear that I do not advise on tax at all.
