London, United Kingdom Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP Full time

Opportunity for a junior level Tax Associate to join our London Tax Group.

Role Summary

The UK Tax Group at Freshfields continues to excel, providing top quality advice on a broad range of the highest profile and most complex mandates and contentious tax matters. We are (and have for many years been) ranked in the top tier and are consistently recommended as a leading tax firm by the major tax directories, which note our impressive strength in depth. Rather than one or two star names, the entire team is of high calibre. It is this which distinguishes our practice and accounts for the quality of the work we attract and the standard of advice we deliver. Our partners feature heavily in the top echelons of various tax directories and rankings and many of our associates are regular contributors to our blogs, podcasts and thought leadership pieces.

The London tax team offers specialist advice on all areas of corporate tax. It 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. As part of the UK’s Tax Firm of the Year, you will have the opportunity to work on challenging, engaging work that will give you the opportunity to make your mark and progress your career. We believe there is no better place to work.

Location overview: London

Our London office is at the heart of our global network, in one of the most exciting world cities. London is arguably the world’s greatest financial centre: all of the world’s leading financial institutions have a significant presence here. It’s home to the headquarters of more than 100 of Europe’s largest companies.

Key Responsibilities

Associates enjoy a wide range of work including:

  • Corporate & Private Capital - Our corporate tax practice covers the full spectrum of public and private M&A, IPOs, demergers, restructurings, returns of capital, joint ventures and private capital transactions.

  • Finance and Restructuring - Our tax finance and restructuring work covers all types of corporate equity and debt‑based work as well as innovative solutions for restructuring and refinancing corporate debt in turbulent markets.

  • Real Estate - Our real estate tax practice continues to cover a wide range of commercial real estate activity, acting for developers, institutional investors, lenders and fund managers.

  • Tax Disputes - Our tax disputes group helps clients solve some of their most difficult contentious tax issues globally. We represent clients dealing with large scale and multi-faceted tax disputes in the UK and internationally and we have a strong track record for successfully resolving disputes in and out of court.

Due to our large international network and the multi-jurisdictional nature of many of our clients, much of our work has a cross border element, involving a number of our international offices. This gives London tax associates a chance to work with lawyers in different jurisdictions and to gain familiarity with international tax aspects. There are also opportunities for client and international secondments.

Requirements

  • England & Wales or common law qualified Tax Lawyer

  • Excellent technical and commercial abilities.

  • Able to work effectively as part of a team.

  • Highly effective communicator (both orally and in writing).

  • Able to take on a high degree of responsibility and manage a challenging workload.

  • Committed to providing an excellent service to our clients.

  • Proactive involvement in business development and knowledge management.

  • Committed to supporting initiatives that promote our values and culture.

Our people make our firm - we are a people business and want to create a welcoming and supportive environment where all can flourish. We see diversity as a strength which creates fresh perspectives and generates new ideas. We enjoy our work and are determined to do an outstanding job. We deliver best when working in teams. Our culture is a product of the combined mindsets and behaviours of our people which is through the Being Freshfields principles, outlined below:

  • we are open with each other

  • we are positive role models

We think and work globally - we don’t just say we are one firm; we act like one firm right across the world. We work wherever our clients need us.

Inclusion

 

Freshfields is an equal opportunities employer and all applications received by the firm will be considered by the firm on the basis of their merit alone and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of background. All offers of employment will be conditional on the candidate having/securing the right to work in the UK and providing the firm with evidence of that right (as required by the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006) prior to employment commencing.


Freshfields is a Ban the Box employer. We ask applicants to disclose criminal convictions only when a conditional job offer is made. A conviction does not automatically lead to withdrawal of the offer: we make decisions on a case by case basis and take a number of factors into account (eg the role you are applying for and the circumstances of the offence). You would have the opportunity to discuss the matter with us before we make a decision.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a global law firm with a long-standing track record of successfully supporting the world’s leading national and multinational corporations, financial institutions, and governments on ground-breaking and business critical mandates.

At Freshfields we seek to create a better future for our clients, our people and the communities in which we live and work. We value diversity and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone feel they can belong, engage and excel.
