THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a standout opportunity for a mid-level lawyer to step into a growing and well-resourced Taxation team within a broader Corporate & Commercial practice.

With a strong pipeline of advisory and structuring matters, this role offers the ideal platform to deepen your tax expertise while remaining closely connected to broader commercial transactions.

Key responsibilities include

• Strong analytical and strategic thinking capability
• A genuine interest in tax advisory and structuring work
