THE OPPORTUNITY
Law Staff is partnering with a leading national firm to appoint an Associate-level lawyer to its established Taxation practice.

The practice has a strong pipeline of front-end advisory, structuring and transactional matters, offering the opportunity to develop specialist tax expertise while remaining connected to broader corporate and commercial work.

You’ll have direct client exposure and the opportunity to take ownership of matters as your experience develops.

Your work will include:

• Strategic advice across income tax, GST, payroll tax, land tax and stamp duty
• Tax advisory and structuring for businesses, private clients and sophisticated commercial structures
• Advising on and drafting complex trust structures and trust deeds
• Tax aspects of corporate, commercial, property and M&A transactions
• Private client and estate-related taxation matters
• Managing matters and developing direct client relationships
• Supporting and mentoring junior lawyers

The breadth of the practice makes this particularly attractive for someone who enjoys the technical side of tax but also wants to develop as a commercial adviser.

ABOUT YOU
You will ideally have 4+ years’ PAE in taxation or a related corporate/commercial practice.

You may already specialise in tax, or have developed relevant exposure through corporate, commercial, property, private client or transactional work and be interested in moving further into taxation.

You will ideally bring:

• Experience across income tax and/or state taxes
• Strong analytical and commercial judgement
• A genuine interest in tax advisory and structuring
• The confidence to work directly with clients
• Broader exposure to M&A, property, commercial transactions or tax disputes would be advantageous
