About the Firm
A leading US law firm with a top‑tier private equity and transactional platform in London. The firm is known for advising sponsors and corporates on some of the most complex and high‑value transactions in the market, with tax lawyers embedded at the core of deal teams rather than operating as a standalone advisory function.

- England & Wales qualified associate with NQ-6 years’ PQE.
- Experience in corporate or transactional tax, ideally in a private equity or M&A context.
- Strong technical grounding and interest in complex, deal‑focused tax structuring.
- Comfortable working in fast‑moving deal teams alongside corporate and finance lawyers.
- Commercial, proactive and keen to take responsibility early.
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity to develop as a transaction‑focused tax lawyer within an elite private equity platform, working on market‑leading deals with significant responsibility and exposure. The role offers excellent technical development and long‑term progression within a high‑performance environment.
