Tax Associate – London – International Law Firm
We are working with a leading international law firm in London on an excellent opportunity for a Tax Associate to 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
• Finance and banking transactions
• Real estate tax
• Capital markets transactions
• Restructurings and reorganisations
• International tax planning
• Tax structuring
• Incentives and management equity
• Cross-border transactions
• General advisory tax work
The role offers excellent variety and is particularly well suited to someone who wants to develop as a rounded transactional tax lawyer, rather than being placed into a narrow practice area too early.
The ideal candidate
We are keen to speak with NQ–4 PQE tax associates who have trained or qualified at a leading City, national, international or specialist tax practice.
You may already be sitting in a tax team, or you may be a newly qualified lawyer with strong tax seat experience and a genuine interest in developing your career in this area.
The firm is looking for someone with strong technical ability, excellent drafting skills, commercial awareness and a proactive approach to client service.
You should have:
• NQ–4 PQE in tax, or strong tax seat experience as a trainee
• Exposure to corporate tax, transactional tax, finance tax, funds tax, real estate tax or international tax
• A strong academic background
• Excellent drafting and analytical skills
• Commercial judgement and attention to detail
• The confidence to work directly with senior lawyers and clients
• A genuine interest in complex, cross-border tax work
• A collaborative and ambitious approach
Why this opportunity stands out
• Leading international law firm platform
• Broad and varied tax practice
• High-quality corporate, finance and funds-related work
• Strong partner access and hands-on training
• Excellent development for junior associates
• Exposure to international and cross-border transactions
• Supportive team culture
• Clear progression opportunities
• Strong long-term career prospects
This is a great opportunity for a junior tax lawyer who wants to join a respected international firm, gain exposure to high-quality transactional tax work and develop within a collaborative and commercially focused team.
