Accessibility statement: If individuals have any accessibility

issues when reviewing this document, please notify a member of the

Travers Smith HR team so that the document can be provided in an

alternative format. Travers Smith Travers Smith is a leading full-service law firm, with a wealth of

experience in its areas of specialisation. The firm has a

market-leading reputation for its international expertise in Asset

Management, M&A and Dispute Resolution & Investigations.

Clients include asset managers across the alternative asset classes

(private equity, venture, credit, infrastructure and real estate),

publicly listed and private companies, financial institutions, and

other business enterprises involved in large and complex UK and

cross-border matters, transactions and disputes. Our purpose is to

provide the highest quality of service to our clients whilst enabling

our people to achieve professional fulfilment in a supportive,

inclusive and enjoyable working environment. The Department We are one of the biggest tax departments in a UK London law firm in

relation to firm size (with circa 30 lawyers including 7 partners);

this represents approximately 10% of the firm by reference to people

and revenues. Our size gives us a breadth of expertise, knowhow and

influence which smaller tax departments simply cannot match. We are

very highly regarded for advice to private equity, venture, credit,

infrastructure, and real estate funds. We are preeminent in private

equity transactional tax, advising both financial sponsors and

management teams. We also have considerable expertise in tax

structuring relating to infrastructure investment, capital markets,

finance and real estate. As a result, the variety of work available to

our associates is very broad and of high quality. The approach of businesses to tax influences the corporate governance

agenda and is of growing interest in assessing the behaviour of

national and international businesses. Our involvement in a variety of

industry representative bodies enables us to anticipate developments

and help to influence policy to ensure that where possible, new law is

clear, effective and well-targeted. For our clients, tax is never a

standalone conversation but is integral to every commercial

engagement. As such, our Tax team is required to play a vital role in

every major corporate and commercial decision faced by our clients and

we expect our associates to be able to communicate effectively with

internal and external clients to explain the tax issues relevant to

their transactions and assist them in finding appropriate solutions.

Tax advisory services form a core strength, but we make sure that we

think beyond structuring and tackle real-world implementation too. Our

lawyers have thorough technical understanding of tax legislation,

policy and an awareness of our clients' commercial objectives. The Tax team operates in a supportive and inclusive way, which aims

to allow all members to perform to the best of their abilities and to

be themselves at work. We continue to work hard to promote diversity

of all descriptions within the team and have already achieved some

notable successes in this regard, not least a partner group which is

currently around 60% female. We place a value on being good "firm

citizens" and we support our associates in taking part in a

variety of initiatives at a wider firm level, including D&I, CSR,

Graduate Recruitment, and other firmwide business development and

management initiatives. We have our own associate social committee

which organises a variety of department-focused and cross-departmental

events and we have regular offsite and team-building events. We place a very high value on learning and development for our

associates. This is achieved through structured formal training,

including weekly whole department meetings and supplementary training

for junior associates, and also through our room sharing system, where

rooms are shared between a number of lawyers of varying degrees of

seniority. Added to this, there is a programme of cross-departmental

training which Tax associates can participate in, and regular

"milestone training" sessions, aimed at giving associates

training in a variety of skills relevant to their level of seniority. Key Responsibilities The Senior Associate role in relation to Transactional Tax will

include, but is not limited to: Advising on a broad range of tax matters including M&A,

Finance and Real Estate transactions. With a particular focus and

specialism on Real Estate Tax. Ability to manage matters and work with light touch supervision. Advising on the tax aspects of private M&A transactions (and

related transactions and structuring) from the perspective of a

variety of stakeholders, including financial sponsors, corporate

shareholders, management teams and finance providers. Tax advisory work to corporate clients. Advice on financing transactions, real estate transactions,

restructurings and management equity incentives. Tax advisory work on IPOs and other fundraisings and capital

market transactions. The work of the Transactional Tax team frequently crosses over with

the work done by the other sub-groups within the Tax team - being the

Asset Management and Incentives and Remuneration groups - and our

associates will have the opportunity to collaborate with other members

of the Tax team in relation to work of this sort, and, where

appropriate, to undertake work that crosses over into these areas.

There is no requirement for associates to rotate through the different

sub-groups, but for those who wish to do so (or who simply wish to

gain some experience in these areas whilst remaining in the

Transactional Tax team), we can generally facilitate this, subject to

business need and other considerations. In addition, there may be

opportunities for client or overseas law firm secondments from time to time. Person Specification -

Knowledge, Skills & Experience An outstanding academic record. UK Qualified Solicitor (preferably with experience at a City law firm). Experience in transactional tax (M&A, Finance and Real

Estate), commensurate with PQE level. Substantive Real Estate Tax experience would be seen as an advantage. Evidence of strong verbal and written communication skills. An ability to demonstrate proactivity and good transaction management. A team player who thrives working within a collegiate environment. A willingness to show commitment and engagement to the firm's culture. This is a transactional role rather than a pure structuring role and

candidates would therefore be expected to have experience of and / or

an interest in drafting and negotiating transaction terms and

documents as well as structuring and advisory work. The firm would also be open to discussing flexible and agile working

arrangements for the right candidate.
