DAC Beachcroft's Tax team advises on transactional tax, complex standalone tax questions and tax controversy. Our work spans M&A and joint ventures, real estate transactions, corporate structuring and financing, employment tax and incentives, bespoke advice on direct and indirect tax matters, tax audits, disputes and investigations, as well as warranty and indemnity (W&I) insurance claims.
Led by the Partner and Head of Tax, the team works with a broad range of clients and colleagues across the firm's practice areas, both in the UK and internationally. We combine technical expertise with practical, commercially focused advice that helps clients navigate complex tax issues and manage risk.
Key sectors include insurance, real estate, health and financial services. The practice offers opportunities to work on W&I transactional and claims matters, corporate and real estate transactions and residential development tax work, alongside a wider mix of advisory and contentious matters.
This is an opportunity for an experienced tax lawyer to take a leading role in delivering client work and developing our tax practice. You will manage matters and client relationships, work closely with colleagues across disciplines, and help build new client contacts across the UK and internationally. We welcome candidates with a mix of transactional, advisory and contentious tax experience; you do not need to have covered every area in depth. The balance of work and responsibility will reflect your experience and expertise.
