Description

The Transaction Tax team deals with the world's largest private equity clients as well as specifically focussing on the areas of the M&A market that are developing the quickest.

Our flexibility and speed to market means that we have grown strongly despite the pandemic. To take advantage of the current opportunities in the market we need to continue to recruit the best talent.

The opportunity

In this team you will get wide-ranging experience in all the core areas of transactional work - including private equity, corporate deals, infrastructure, clean-tech, distressed debt / turnaround transactions and restructuring.

You will obtain the opportunity to be involved in both national and regionally focused transactions.

As deal advisers, Transaction Tax team members not only get good UK tax technical experience but also get a commercial understanding of what is important to our clients in a deal context.

As a large part of TT work is cross-border, you will also have an early introduction to international structuring techniques and overseas tax regimes.

We are currently looking to expand our Transaction Tax team in Scotland and are keen to speak with Senior Tax Managers or experienced Tax Managers looking for their next move.
