We are working with a US-headquartered firm which has an outstanding reputation for working with tech businesses at all stages of the development cycle, from seed stage to IPO and beyond. They have assisted several blue-chip high profile technology businesses with their first and subsequent IPOs. 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. They are now looking for a Tax Lawyer to join the London office and help develop the existing tax 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. You will also be able to explain tax issues at a number of levels - switching comfortably between explaining these in pure commercial terms to investors and founders and engaging in detailed technical discussion with in-house tax team members. Requirements: In order to be considered, you will: 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. Have a very strong academic background. Be able to, in addition to transactional support, demonstrate a commitment to and relevant experience of tax advisory work. Be ambitious, self-motivated, hard-working, a strong communicator, and have the ability to work as part of a team or as an individual contributor. 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. This is a sensational opportunity to work with a firm right at the top end of its game.

You appreciate direct communication. You're both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let's face it, you can't have one without the other. You're cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow. You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You're not looking for a boring job. You have a "can do" attitude.
