Watford, United Kingdom VWV Full time

Tax and Trusts Manager

Here at VWV, our private client offering lies at the very heart of our success and is central to our ongoing recruitment strategy.

As such, we now find ourselves looking for a bright and engaging Tax and Trusts Manager to come on board our Directory rated team and undertake this thriving area of work.

About us

We're a Top 100, full-service UK law firm with just over 500 employees. With 4 offices in Bristol, Birmingham, London and Watford, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture. We believe in integrity and authenticity- in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other as well as with our clients. With a reputation not just for the quality of our work, but also for the qualities of our people, we strive to recruit individuals who are proactive and passionate about what they do and able to demonstrate humour and humility in equal measure.

The role

Our private wealth offering is widely recognised by the Directories, with the Chambers HNW guide (2024) ranking lawyers in the team from every one of our office locations.

As an expert in your field, you'll enjoy a combination of tax and trusts advisory work on issues around private wealth and succession planning, as well as pulling together and managing our existing portfolio of trusts. With this role, there's a real opportunity for you to bring some innovative ideas around how we might continue to best organise this work. Our clients are wide ranging and include private individuals, families and entrepreneurs, so you'll find the role to be interesting and varied. As part of our legal 500 rated private client team, you'll find the work to be wide ranging, interesting and often high value.

Working with other lawyers from the team, your day to day role will include the following sorts of tasks: liaising with clients on any action points arising from succession and tax planning advice; attending trustee meetings and preparing minutes; overseeing and preparing trust accounts and tax returns; calculating trustees' tax liabilities in relation to income, corporate gains and inheritance tax; preparing and reviewing policy statements; dealing with trust payments and the distribution of income, both capital and discretionary and reviewing and interpreting trust deeds and other documentation.

Given that tax and trusts work involves supporting the ongoing work within our wider private client department, you'll naturally find the role to be sociable and interactive. You'll have a love of team endeavour and enjoy working collaboratively with your colleagues across the offices, helping to provide our clients with the seamless "one stop shop" service for which, here at VWV, we are renowned.

About you

You might be working at present as a Tax and Trusts Manager for a law firm, or perhaps you work for an accountancy practice and are seeking a move to a law firm. Alternatively you might have a strong background in tax and trusts but have ended up taking a slightly different path. Either way, if you have a strong background in this area and are looking to make a move, then we'd love to hear from you. For us, your enthusiasm is as important as experience and ability.

Here at VWV, we recognise that each one of us is an individual. We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this role, then please do call us (see contact details in the "How to Apply" section below), as we will be happy to do so.

Where will I be working? 

At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really shapes our culture. Whilst we operate a hybrid model of working, for this role we would like you to be based from one of our office locations for at least part of the week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture as well as facilitate cross referral opportunities from your colleagues in other teams. We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
