Their model in London is to offer “Silicon Valley-style” business and legal advice to UK and European businesses, with a particular focus on UK and European tech companies exploring US expansion, fundraising or exit. In recent years, the firm has attracted a great group of phenomenal lawyers in London, and they are getting a lot of traction in the City – it is an exciting time to join.Tax is a relatively new offering in their London office, and an opportunity has arisen for a first Associate hire to join an experienced (but also new to the firm) Partner, and assist in building out the practice.In this role, you’ll advise on Tax aspects of M&A transactions and venture capital finance. You’ll assist internationally mobile clients with tax-efficient business structuring, and in conjunction with the US tax practice, assist on UK/US advisory work.To be successful in this role, you will need to be able to work with a flexible mindset, enjoy resolving new and challenging tax issues and be solution-focused.

• Be an England & Wales-qualified solicitor with probably between 2 and 6 years’ post-qualification experience of corporate tax (including international tax issues), gained in a law firm, accounting firm or in-house;

• Must enjoy working directly with clients and building relationships alongside providing specialist support to colleagues in other teams;
• Have personality, energy, and initiative to take advantage of an exceptional opportunity.

Knowledge of tax issues relevant to growth companies would be beneficial as would knowledge of UK/US cross border tax issues (but neither is a requirement, provided you have a strong interest in and commitment to growing your knowledge in these areas)The firm pays top NY rates for Associates.
