  • Counsel on SDLT/LBTT, VAT, capital allowances, and general tax planning for property transactions.
  • Support business owners with vendor tax planning, investment structuring, and business entity reorganisations.
  • Advise on devolved tax matters and the development of employee share incentives, including implications for corporate transactions.
  • Offer guidance on investment fund structuring and executive remuneration.
  • Deliver internal and external tax updates through presentations, webinars, and client seminars.
  • Collaborate with partners to advance business development initiatives and implement team strategies.
  • Ensure compliance with the firm’s information security protocols.

Requirements

  • 4-8 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in a similar role.
  • Legal or ATT/CTA qualifications.
  • Strong interest in tax matters, with a commercial and pragmatic approach.
