Tax Associate

We are working with a leading international law firm in London on an excellent opportunity for a Tax Associateto join a highly regarded and growing tax practice.

This is a strong opportunity for an NQ–4 PQE lawyer who is looking to build their career in a broad, high-quality and commercially focused tax team, advising on a wide range of corporate, finance and transactional matters.

The team advises across a full spectrum of UK and international tax work, with exposure to complex, cross-border transactions and a sophisticated client base that includes corporates, financial institutions, private equity sponsors, investment funds, asset managers, lenders, borrowers and high-growth businesses.

The role

You will work closely with partners and senior associates on a broad range of tax matters, including:

• M&A and corporate tax
• Private equity transactions
• Funds and investment structures

• International tax planning
• Tax structuring

• A strong academic background
• Excellent drafting and analytical skills
