Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Maddocks Full time

About us

We are a modern Australian law firm with a leading reputation. We focus on exceptional service, operational excellence and being at the forefront of employee experience. We work closely with Australian and international businesses, organisations and governments.

The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for an Associate/Senior Associate to work in our Tax and Structuring team, part of our wider Commercial group. Our Tax and Structuring team advises a wide range of clients on tax issues relevant to their personal and business needs. The team is highly regarded for their ability to provide practical strategic advice in connection with income tax, GST and state taxes, and they regularly act for private groups, corporate groups, foreign inbound groups, accountants as well as buyers, sellers and developers in the property market. The income tax, GST and state tax advice the team provides is broad ranging and includes structuring and M&A transaction advice/drafting in respect of both corporate and property transactions, discrete BAU advice as well as dealing with Federal and State tax authorities. Each member of the team prides themselves in being first and foremost a lawyer, not simply a tax technical adviser.

In this role you will be working with Partners Leigh Baring Michael Taylor-Sands and Andrew Wright, along with other lawyers in the group.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build upon your tax career in a collegiate team in an environment that will enable you to develop your wider commercial and legal skills.

About you

In order to be successful in this role you will have approximately 4+ years' experience in a similar role in either accounting or law firm and ideally possess the following skills and experience:

  • Experience in advising on income tax, and/or GST and/or state taxes
  • Experience in drafting and/or reviewing a range of legal documents (joint ventures, development agreements, shareholder and partnership agreements, sale of share and business agreements etc)
  • Strong communication skills;
  • Ability to build external and internal relationships.

Most importantly you will enjoy working in a team environment where you can mentor and support junior lawyers and learn from experienced Partners.

Why join Maddocks?

Maddocks is simply a great place to do great work. We foster a culture of collaboration, learning and engagement where you will experience:

A diverse and inclusive workplace: We have been named an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Workforce Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) every year since 2004 along with being named a Bronze Employer at the Australian Workplace Equality Index's 2022 LGBTQ Inclusion Awards.
