  • Strong knowledge of UK tax law, dispute resolution procedures, and HMRC processes.
  • Proven experience handling contentious tax matters, including litigation before tax tribunals or courts.
  • Excellent legal drafting, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to provide strategic, pragmatic advice to clients.
  • A team player with a proactive attitude, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
  • England & Wales qualified (or equivalent international qualifications).


Why Apply?
This role offers the opportunity to work with a market-leading tax disputes team on challenging, high-profile cases. You will benefit from exposure to an international client base, exceptional training and development opportunities, and a clear pathway for career progression. The firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package, along with a flexible and inclusive working environment.
