About us
HWL Ebsworth is not your typical law firm. Our rapid rise to become the largest legal partnership in Australia shows that in our case, the differences are real. We deliver first class legal advice to our government and commercial clients in every state and territory across Australia. Firm wide, we have over 270 Partners and 1700 people. Our National Taxation Practice has 9 Partners, 3 of whom are in Brisbane.
The opportunity
We have an opportunity to join our highly regarded Brisbane team, working primarily with Lindsay Reed and John Caravousanos. Considered one of the largest taxation teams in the Brisbane market, you’ll have the opportunity to gain exposure to multi-jurisdictional matters across a diverse range of taxation issues, with direct client access and the autonomy to run matters independently.
- Providing strategic tax advice to clients across a range of matters (income tax, GST, land tax, payroll tax, stamp duty)
- Drafting and advising on complex trust structures, trust deeds, and wills & estates matters
- Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to team capability and growth
To succeed in this role, ideally, you'll have
- 3-5 years PAE
- income tax and/or state tax experience (or a desire to grow in these areas)
- strategic and critical thinking capability
- a vested interest in tax and structuring, underpinned by a strong commercial mindset
- broader legal experience beyond tax, such as M&A, property, commercial transactions, or tax litigation and a desire to apply that knowledge in a specialised context
What we offer
- Unrivalled career pathways: Our unique meritocracy model proudly offers our staff career development, promoting talent based solely on merit. Our size, range of experience and competitive pricing model will provide you with everything you need to succeed. Unlike our competitors, our Solicitor to Partner ratio enables greater mentoring and client engagement compared to our competitors. Our 180-day career forecasting sessions provide the platform to fast-track your progression.
- Work-Life Balance: We offer flexible work arrangements to support your work-life balance
- Great culture and a huge networking platform: Be part of a firm renowned for its friendly and down-to-earth culture. We also have sports clubs, social club and monthly firmwide drinks.
