In Tax, you'll assist clients ranging from large organisations to budding entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals in managing tax risk, understanding obligations, and complying with complex legislation. Your work will encompass a variety of tasks, including multinational advisory projects, mergers and acquisitions advice, tax compliance, and researching business issues affecting clients' tax affairs. You’ll engage with clients on critical business matters, such as interpreting developments in case law, understanding the implications of expanding into new territories, or introducing new products. Your role may involve working on purely UK-based activities or participating in global projects, improving internal processes, or contributing to mergers and acquisitions.
