Corporate Tax PSL - FTC

THE FIRM

A major internaitonal law firm.

THE ROLE

A Tax Knowledge Lawyer is sought to join the Global Knowledge team on a one year contract basis.

This is a great opportunity for someone with expertise in corporate tax law to join the London Tax Knowledge team for 12 months as maternity leave cover.

The role would suit an existing Tax Knowledge lawyer or a corporate tax fee earner looking to move to a Knowledge role.

This is a full time role, but part-time arrangements may be considered.

The London Tax team provides top quality advice on a broad range of high profile and complex transactions and contentious tax matters, and advises on all areas of corporate tax.

The team provides support for the firm's corporate clients and also has a strong stand-alone tax practice, advising on some of the most complex tax disputes and advisory tax mandates in the market.

The sharing of learning and experience is actively encouraged and embedded in the Tax team's culture and the Tax Knowledge team plays a key part in this process.

This is an opportunity for a talented lawyer to work in a Knowledge role in an international and diverse team, in an inclusive environment, directly contributing to the firm's client and people strategies.

You'll focus on knowledge services related to corporate tax law.

This will include monitoring and analysing legal developments, providing insights, and translating these into initiatives for clients and internal teams.

You will lead on training for the London Tax team, including organising training for all levels of Tax fee-earners as well as delivering training on key topics.

You will also work closely with the practitioners to ensure knowledge and insights from matters are captured and shared across the team.
